An episode heavy on crime: shoplifting, missing people, and overdue porno tapes.

This week, we welcome on the one and only Van Lathan, the host of Ringer podcasts such as Higher Learning, Midnight Boys, and Ringer Tailgate. He’ll be reading as Valentina*, a woman who’s had her fair share of weird exes and heartbreak, but is managing to dance her way through it all.

(*Not her real name, definitely her real stories.)
