Crime and Cocktails

Crime and Cocktails

Crimes & Cocktails is a podcast series hosted by New York Times bestselling authors Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris. Both are longtime journalists and between them they have written dozens of books. Eight of those are true crime and appeared on the NYT Times bestseller's list. Olsen’s current bestseller (Washington Post, USA Today and #1 Wall Street Journal) If You Tell features the breathtaking story of murderer Shelley Knotek. Joining Olsen and Morris, is a longtime crime fan and cocktail drinker, Ren. This trio lives crime, breathes it, writes it, and, yes, drinks it. Every podcast episode is an energetic, thoughtful, and no holds barred discussion of new or classic crimes imbued with their unique command of the subject. Season one is all about Bad Girls — women who kill and manipulate others to do their bidding. And don’t forget the cocktails. Crime mixes with everything. Hosted on Acast.
