Top of show podcast trailer: Ghost Town, check them out! Happy Halloween! I did something a little different for this week's episode. I know my fellow podcasters will get the dark, paranormal, and spooky covered, so I spoke with Shannon Walker of Housewives Trivia fame in NYC. Together, we discuss just a few of the TRUE CRIMES of the REAL HOUSEWIVES. You can find Shannon on instagram @housewivestrivia, and if you are in NYC, her live show ( SO MUCH FUN) is at QED: Astoria. ALSO! There's a few ti...

Top of show podcast trailer: Cults and Crime, check them out! I read 'The Hot One' by Carolyn Murnick last month and paused mid-read to look her up, follow her on social, and email her request an interview. She graciously obliged and I was delighted to know she lives in NYC so we interviewed at my house. Carloyn's book taps into all the things that make my heart skip a beat: women, female friendships, a murder, and an honest coming of age story. If you like any or all of these, then you too, are...

Please welcome Michelle Kaszuba into the DIE-ALOGUE! I met Michelle earlier this year, though it feels like I have known her forever. She came to play true crime trivia, we connected after the show, and I was super impressed by her business card which read Assistant District Attorney, Borough of Queens! What a badass. As we continued to spend time ( and trade texts), I learned how Michelle approaches her work as a prosecutor, and how passionate she is for missing persons and cold cases. I think ...

This conversation is everything I imagined DIE-ALOGUE could be when I started the podcast: vulnerable, heart-felt, fascinating, challenging, entertaining, and insightful. I know, I know. How nice of me to review this episode so favorably. Can't help it. Quinn is lovely and was so generous in sharing her story and perspective on growing up with Jon Benet, then living in the aftermath in Boulder. CO. We certainly delve into the Ramsey's but more so, we hover around the larger questions that surrou...

I had the best conversation with Amy Shlosberg + Meghan Sacks. Together, they host the Direct Appeal podcast - examining the case of Melanie McGuire, who maintains her innocence to this day, after her conviction of killing her husband in 2004. Amy + Meghan are criminology professors at Farleigh Dickinson University in NJ. We went HARD and tackled tiny issues like justice ( who gets it?), reasonable doubt ( we get this wrong A LOT), and how to consume true crime responsibly. But don't fear, we al...

Great news, DIE-HARDS! The podcast now has an Instagram + Facebook page - follow us on both @diealoguepod! Today's episode is an exciting one - it's going to make you think! I interviewed Toby Ball, of Crime Writers On podcast, ( one of my long standing favorites), and author of the City Trilogy Book Series. Toby is so smart, I was a tad intimidated to talk to him, but he's just as warm and approachable as he is intelligent, so all was just fine. We talk about the genre of true crime - how it's ...

If you haven't been to CrimeCon, this is an amazing opportunity to learn more about the spi...

If you don't already know her story you will hear how she survived a violent attack by none other than 'Dirty John.' Since that time, Terra has been working on her healing and helping others identify red flags and coercive abuse. Despite these heavy topics, we manage to giggle and I definitely learned more about Terra th...
