May 17, 2019 Old Timey Crimey #9: Edith Thompson, Freddy Bywaters, and a Murderous Affair
It's time for 50 Shades of Murder! This week, Scott and Kristy hop back to England for a purported new age muddled with the scandals of old. Join us for the steamy affair between Edith Thompson and her young lover, Freddy Bywaters--and the tragedy that resulted. He's her toyboy, and the society women of England are drooling all over him even as he stands trial.
P.S.: Always burn your lover's letters, darling.

May 10, 2019 Old Timey Crimey #8: The Disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst
Kristy and Scott go on a mysterious journey with a young English diplomat traveling incognito (badly) through Europe in the age of Napoleon. The disappearance of Benjamin Bathurst, which has inspired science fiction writers for decades, introduces us to such wonderful characters as Guido Starhemburg, the Black Legion of Vengeance, and the Rescuer of Marbles. Was it bandits? Aliens? THE FRENCH? We'll likely never know.
Join us, and remember...he's British.

May 03, 2019 Old Timey Crimey #7: Texarkana Moonlight Murders Part 2
We heading back to Texarkana again, this time to talk about the wide array of suspects police picked as the Phantom Killer or who, oddly enough, pointed the finger at themselves. We'll also dig into how the murders affected the town--hysteria! buying all the locks! shooting people in the foot!--and Scott makes up a lovely folk song.

April 26, 2019 Old Timey Crimey #6: Texarkana Moonlight Murders, Part 1
Scott and Kristy traumatize the crap out of themselves with Part 1 of their first two-parter! It's time for murder and mayhem that sends a small town into a frenzy--you might even say it's the disco ball of serial murders. Join us for Texas Ranger Captain Manuel "Lone Wolf" Gonzaullas, teenage vigilantes, and what is likely the first film to turn a trombone into a weapon.
We're running our first ever contest! Leave us a 5-star review on iTunes with a limerick about the Dr. Crippen case (Episode 5), anything to beat the "Naughty boy, ship's ahoy!" song. Scott and Kristy will choose their top 3 favorites and put it to a public vote on our Facebook group. And remember, iTunes isn't a fan of the R-rated words in their reviews, so...don't swear as much as we do.
Submit your review + limerick by May 16, 2019. Vote will be held from midnight May 17 to noon May 20, 2019, and the top vote getter wins an Old Timey Crimey t-shirt featuring our logo and your limerick! Continental U.S. only.
