E265: Macabre – This Is The Greatest Show (part I)

Two women, from opposite sides of the Atlantic, talk about murder, mystery and the macabre. This is your international true crime podcast, hosted by Annie and Johanna.

Annie, who lives with her husband in an old haunted house near Salem, Massachusetts, loves dogs, reading, knitting and talking about terrible, terrible things.

Johanna lives in Vienna, Austria with her husband, one beagle and a real dog. She loves The Beach Boys, movie marathons and fun facts about serial killers.

Their idea of a perfect Saturday night is, to spend it in bed, watching the newest true crime documentary, while eating licorice and peanut butter brownies. And now they are taking notes, so they can tell you everything!

Misery loves company, so listen to a new episode of the Fresh Hell Podcast each week and get into something truly horrible…
