Welcome to Crawl Space. I'm Tim here today with Lance. Lance, how are you today?

0:38.3

Doing great today, Tim. I hope everybody out there is doing well as well and very happy to be

0:45.6

bringing this conversation with a wonderful woman to our listeners ears. But before we get to

0:50.9

that, the thing I want to bring to the listeners ears is how you're doing. Fill their ears with how

0:55.2

you're doing. I'm doing great. Thanks a lot for asking. I'm always better when we speak to

0:59.7

one of our pod friends, Lance. And this conversation, we speak with Esther Ludlow of Once Upon a Crime.

1:06.4

You can find out about everything she does at truecrimepodcast.com, probably the best URL

1:12.8

in the biz, Lance. How much do you think she had to pay Mike Morphur to get that URL?

1:17.7

I think she beat Morph to this one, because I don't think Morph would have given it up.

1:21.1

And once Upon a Crime is a great show, definitely check that out. It's a weekly true crime podcast that

tells the story behind the story of real life crime. And Esther does a great job exploring

why people do what they do. And she's endlessly fascinated by that. And you can hear that in her

1:35.6

voice. It's a really great conversation. She takes a lot of what she's learned through her

1:39.8

background in psychology and applies it to each episode, applies it to each case.

1:43.8

She sure does. And in this conversation, we talk about her band's Gone Wild series, which is

1:48.8

just one of the things we talk about. That was a fun conversation, Lance. And it's great to get a

1:52.9

more candid experience with Esther, because most of her programming is scripted. And she's trying

1:57.4

to work herself into this nonscripted conversational style. And honestly, I was really happy that she

2:03.6

used us as one of her practice sessions to get that conversational style going. And she obviously

2:09.2

does a great job. She's super engaging. Well, you know what else is a good listen, Lance? It's

2:13.4
