On this episode, we’re diving into the transformative world of music, exploring its impact on our well-being and livelihood, sense of community, and creativity.

I’m joined by two of my favorite musicians and friends, Eric Benites and Chrissy Duffin, who play together in band called Prosper or Perish (and are talented instrumentalists in several other bands as well).

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.
