In this episode, we're joined by Spider Dan to answer 'who is Venom'.
Created for Marvel as part of a fan write-in, at first Venom was just written in as a simple 'mistake' in Spider-Man's costume. 4 years later, we find out that he was actually a sentient creature that had been brought into this world.

Spider Dan tells us all about these origin stories and what he loves about the character. We also learn Dan's own origin story! As the name of his podcast, 'Spider Dan and the Secret Bores' is forever linked to these events.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
