“Murder in Oregon” arrives on the true crime podcast landscape with a bang, though in this case, it’s more like a slice. And although Nigella Lawson doesn’t slice like a chef, what she lacks in knife skills, she makes up for in snob-free warmth, explaining why everyday cooks entice families to open in emotionally on “The Splendid Table.”
