Strap in for tales of people eating people, all from the land of Germany.

Give Me Murder #12 - Son of Sam: A Podcast Episode
July 20, 2017 06:00 - 57 minutes - 65.4 MBMuch like David Berkowitz's mind, this episode is a little disjointed and nuts!

Give Me Murder #7 - Who Killed William Desmond Taylor (Really, Who)?
June 15, 2017 06:00 - 54 minutes - 62.9 MBA good old fashioned Hollywood murder mystery. A famous silent film director with a squeaky clean image tragically murdered, but was he hiding something?
