This week, I have a crossover episode for you. From Cold Open Media, the folks that brought you the award-winning podcast Down the Hill: The Delphi Murders, I speak with Andrew Iden and Dan Szematowicz about their new true crime podcast series, Deviant. Deviant dives into the dark corners of what humans are capable of. They tell good stories about bad people who do very bad things. I speak with Andrew Iden and Dan Szematowicz in episode 17. Deviant Podcast with Andrew and Dan.
