  • I gave it an honest shot—1 year

    I tried, I really did, as historical crime is one of my favorite genres, but I just can’t stand the inane banter and giggling anymore. I appreciate insightful commentary and tangents in other pods but these two contribute nothing to the topic. We don’t need personal opinions after almost every sentence.

  • Vomit

    I don’t understand why all the commentary during story telling. I couldn’t get through it with the dumb jokes and even dumber laughter. TRASH!

  • If you like sawbones and true crime

    The set up of this show is JUST like sawbones. Where one person knows all the info and teaches their cohost everything they’ve learned.

    I love them together and their show! It’s super fun and different than most true crime because you haven’t heard of most of the cases rehashed.

    Definitely a listen if you haven’t yet.

"Mystery's at the Windham Inn" with D. Paul Fleming

Absolutely. This is literally a caricature of the actual picture that I took and sent to the publisher.
"Mystery's at the Windham Inn" with D. Paul Fleming
Q: What inspires you to write this book?
I wrote some books that are a lot heavier than the Mysteries at the Windham Inn, including my experiences and the energy that's imprinted into the words.
Scholomance—The Devil’s Academy of Transylvania
Q: Would you rather be a gladiator in ancient Rome or a jousting knight in medieval England?
I would probably choose to be a gladiator, as it could lead to a quicker death over being a jousting knight, who might face prolonged trauma from injuries.
