WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE DAN ZUPANSKY BACK ON THE SHOW AND FRANK GRILLS HIM LIKE A SWORDFISH
Yes, it is official -- Frank is Burl's new co-host following the sudden death of Howard Lapides
Two classic shows! Felon O’Reilly, stand-up comic & public speaker,
exposes the behavior and thinking that led up to his career in crime and his struggle with addiction to drugs and alcohol.
"A prison counselor once told me if I stopped putting drugs and booze into my system,
I would find out what it is I really love to do in life. And that is
exactly what happened. The problem is, I found out what I really
loved to do is steal shit.”
then we re-visit the Franklin Sex Scandal with reporter Nick Bryant and Frank J. Hagen (the gay guy in the Reagan White House). This Franklin scandal is the same plot as the recent Epstein sex scandal.
Burl and his famous brother Stan go on a road trip to Eastern Washington to the scene of many true crimes. In vantage, Stan explains trade with China, the in the second show, Burl sits outside PIZZA & ICE CREAM at Loon Lake, Washington and talks about the Spokane Srerial Killer and more.
t was a shattering death bed confession by a heartbroken mother. But would it solve the oldest cold case murder case in American jurisprudence?
In January 1994, Eileen Tessier told Jack McCullough's half-sister Janet Tessier that he, her son, kidnapped 7-year-old Maria Ridulph from their neighborhood in Sycamore, Illinois and killed her in December 1957. It was a case that tore the child’s family apart, as well as dividing and terrifying the town as the days, then the months, and finally the years passed with no arrest.
In 2008 the Illinois State police reopened the case against Jack after receiving an email from Janet Tessier about their mother's deathbed confession. After the Illinois State police interviewed Janet and learned that Jack had also been accused of raping their other sister, Jeanne Tessier, they reopened the case. But would reopening the case solve the question of who killed Maria Ridulph? And was McCullough the killer?
In THE LAST MAN STANDING, true crime author Alan Warren writes in exacting detail about the kidnapping, murder and subsequent investigations—both in 1957 and 2008—that eventually led to the murder conviction of Jack McCullough. But the story doesn’t stop there as it delves into the years McCullough spent in prison and the efforts to have his conviction overturned.
Was McCullough the brutal killer of a little girl? Or was he the last man standing when the justice system decided he needed to pay for the crime? You decide.
It is always educational and entertaining when Punch joins us. Howard Lapides was crazy about Punch and derived great joy from these entertaining true crime stories,
Burl Barer says:
Most of my true crime books contain insights and commentary by Travis Webb who gets full credit for bringing the murders covered in my book HEAD SHOT to my attention. In a recent Q&A for Wild Blue Press's re-release of HEADLOCK, my private eye novel, I was asked: is Travis Webb the same Travis Webb who is a famous rave producer and pop culture icon in the Northwest?
A: Yes, but the Travis Webb in HEADLOCK is the Travis I knew almost 20 years ago when he wasn’t famous, wasn’t really handsome (he is now), and was much heavier. Travis says he reads the novel to remind himself of what his life was like back then. He is very smart, and probably even smarter than he appears in the book.
We had Travis on our show almost ten years ago, and it is the perfect time to have him back as he is featured in a new documentary on the rave culture in the Northwest -- a documentary made several years ago when Travis was ruling the Rave scene in Seattle
Howard Lapides begins the show by stating that I (Burl Barer) am wandering the streets of the San Fernando Valley. No, I was in the hospital trying to stay alive. I obviously made it. Kevin is the world's expert on Ted Bundy..and this is his latest research. If you are into Ted Bundy, this one if for you
Cathy Scott is one of America's Masters of True Crime and a frequent guest on our show. We welcome Cathy back for another fascinating hour of true crime uncensored!
"Susan Fensten's new book, You Have a Very Soft Voice, Susan, is a pulse-pounding work that proves once again that truth is stranger than fiction." --Kevin M. Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders and Vampire: The Richard Chase Murders
"You Have a Very Soft Voice, Susan is quite possibly the most twisted and surreal case of stalking I have ever encountered. Well written and gripping. Just when you think it can't get any more bizarre, it does." --Patrick Quinlan, Los Angeles Times bestselling author of All Those Moments
"A harrowing and visceral read. Fensten takes you straight into the heart of darkness in her debut book. A must-have for true crime readers everywhere." --Jesse P. Pollack, author of The Acid King
"Susan Fensten's autobiographical account of how her simple internet search for lost relatives on an ancestry website unleashed a horrifying armada of mad kinky ghouls to relentlessly stalk her, is a fright house of a tale; a Dantesque decent into a cyber inferno that any one of us could easily find themselves drawn into." --Peter Vronsky, author of Sons of Cain: A History of Serial Killers From the Stone Age to the Present
