Description

Why are we so obsessed with murder podcasts, grisly documentaries, and shows that make us double-check the locks at night? In this episode of The Jocular Pugilists, Phil confesses (don’t worry, it’s not a felony) that he works in the world of true crime podcasting—and drags Tomas down the rabbit hole of blood, forensics, and chainsaws that run out of gas mid-decapitation. Yep, that happened.

Join us as we debate:

  • Why true crime is the murdery comfort food of media
  • Whether DNA and forensic science are the real stars of the show
  • If loving serial killer content makes you weird (it might)
  • And how one assassination literally changed the course of history

Also featuring: O.J. jokes, Sherlock references, pig-eating-corpse theories, and the unsettling realization that the calmest people might be the most dangerous. Sleep tight.

👀 Rated M for Morbid Curiosity.

Let us know what you think.
