Spooky season may be over for some people but for us things are about to start getting cold, and dark at 4:30 so what better time to hunker down under a blanket and explore the world of true crime. Librarian Erin Waller joins Jen to talk about documentaries and crime shows. Sometimes self care is Netflix and a warm blanket. 

What are we loving this week? Panties from Parade, and the Nosy Neighbors podcast on Spotify. 

Also, do you remember when the psychic said there was going to be an earthquake in KY? Jen needs to know that she is not crazy. 

The guests and hosts on Top of the Curve are not experts and their advice is just for fun, also there will be "mature" language because we are adults, the mature is subjective. Thanks for listening. 

Our hosts are trapped in Chicago! Just kidding, this is just the 2nd half of our 36 hours in Chicago travel wrap-up. There is art, confusion, drinking, and sharp objects. All my favorite things.  
What are we loving this week? Shoes from Target, Wingspan (again!), and Framebridge.
