Autumn and Maria play the orchestra-style version of God Save the King and use a scalpel to dig into Silent Witness. Autumn puts her sci-fi hat on to talk about the original version of the British mystery series, Life on Mars. They enlighten with BritSpeak, talk Who’s On What? – Maria on Sarah Lancashire which leads down the rabbit warren to Last Tango in Halifax and Rose & Maloney; Autumn talks about Suranne Jones (Dr. Foster, Vigil, Gentleman Jack, Scott & Bailey, Maryland). And they give props to the delightful Shrine Podcasts from Ireland.

ABOUT US
MARIA NOTARAS (Creator + Co-host)
Maria’s career as a TV producer began shortly after her escape from her former life as a Wall Street investment advisor. Shedding the designer suits and Hermés scarves, she eventually became part of the original teams that created Comedy Central, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, The Queen Latifah Show and The Real. She’s produced thousands of celebrities on talk shows and red carpets and received four Emmy Awards for her work on The Rosie O’Donnell Show and The Wayne Brady Show.
When she’s not convincing talk show guests to feed live tigers or helping the Muppets interview stars on the red carpet she’s bingeing her favorite British murder shows, talking about them with Autumn and agonizing over the perfect Bitmojis to send out with every text.
AUTUMN DOERR (Creator + Co-host)
Autumn has always been a firebrand who conquered the radio, television, and podcasting worlds (*ahem*). Her credits include hundreds of hours of television, a public radio show, and a podcast on how the origins of the vampire story made Dracula, Dracula. Her favorite writing gig was for a documentary on the history of horror for Blumhouse. She’s produced a multitude of true crime series, and top-rated cooking competitions. What do these diverse genres have in common? Mystery. Will the Final Girl get killed? Will the real killer be captured? Will that souffle fall?
And, as a life-long mystery fan, she has written two mysteries, Baker’s Dozen and Free for All, and is polishing up her third novel in The Lexi Fagan Mystery trilogy, The Sins of the Mother. (Available on Amazon). www.autumndoerr.com/
