In today's episode I interview Sci-Fi writer Jenny Ahmed. Her recent book "Utopia" is about "A handpicked team of elite scientists, each prepared to leave Earth behind forever. Their mission: to build a permanent colony and turn the barren red planet into humanity's next home. Mars holds secrets far older—and far stranger—than anyone could have imagined..."
We also talk about her writing journey, the craft of writing, reading for characters vs plot, and how a bad experience with Covid helped her embrace life and try new things. Her book is thrilling and her life reflects the same adventurous spirit!

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.
