Join them as they try products and practices, consult healers and experts, and ask the ultimate question: is it truly wellness they’re after or just the thrill of the chase?

Introducing: CrimeLess

Hello, POOG Listeners! We want to share a new show you might enjoy, CrimeLess.

About the show: What’s the best way to rob a bank? How do you fake your own death? Can you deploy a swarm of bees to get rid of the cops? And if so, how (theoretically) would one do that? All of these questions and more are answered on CRIMELESS, a weekly talk show that breaks down crazy crimes and answers the questions that you’re too embarrassed, or too afraid, to ask, lest it land you on an FBI watchlist.

Each week, comedian Rory Scovel and his co-host, the veteran journalist and true crime podcaster Josh Dean, break down a brazen heist, outlandish scam, crypto caper, monkey gang war, or otherwise outrageous crime. The story will catapult the hosts into an exploration of the minutia of the crime, the wild characters who committed it, and how the hosts could do it better. While the show will be funny, first and foremost, listeners will also learn something — at least enough to seem interesting for 10 minutes at a party. It’s How Stuff Works, if How Stuff Works got drunk and robbed a Papaya King, to pay for the Bored Ape NFTs it bought to cover its gambling losses. Or You’re Wrong About, but mostly focused on things that Florida Man did after smoking too much kratom. (Or do you snort kratom? We definitely need to do an episode unpacking WTF kratom is.)

SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR NEW SHOW AT BERLANTNOVAK.SUPERCAST.COM.

This is an episode about faith, diaspora, and what ants are for. Jacqueline is mommy, and the world is your womb. Revelations in a time of rupture: everything “stimulates collagen”. Kate can’t stop smelling the beeswax candles from her cousin, and Jacqueline is searching for a song to mark the end. Holding up the roof as it caves in and taking ownership. Oh, to lie on the bed in the mid-morning and read! The feminine knows when something needs to die, and two tickets require two hands. An outgoing call from a formal dining room, a resonant Dirty Dancing reference that doesn’t land. Who will feed the trick or treaters? Same bitch, same bot. Once a year is Crazy Week (Fuck Week). Like Job, but not nearly as punished. See you on the mailing list.

Mentioned: Saie, AromaTech, Lyma, Youthforia, Marion Woodman, CosRx, OneSkin
