In today’s episode (the second of a two-parter) Joann and Kristina welcome industry veteran and Anne Rice fan, Erica Robert Pallo. Erica joined us on several episodes last season and we couldn't have done this one without her! Her knowledge is deep and her insights are powerful.
The season finale "And that's the end of it. There's nothing Else" left us breathless as Louis takes revenge for Claudia and Daniel, with the help of the Real Rashid and the Talamasca, uncovers one more, very critical, piece of truth that helps Louis come to a fateful decision -- a decision that has ramifications for Daniel and that brings him back to New Orleans where we finally meet the real Lestat, currently feeding on rats and clinging to an emotional support plank. Their reunion is one for the ages and we are split on what it all means.
Below are some ways to engage with us and a bit more about Erica.

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.
