Summary

It's been more than ten days. What's the latest on whether the state will appeal Judge Welch's decision to vacate Adnan Syed's conviction? "The Night Of" is sure to be "the show of the summer." This moody, unsettling murder mystery is everything that "True Detective, Season 2" was not. The Crime Writers talk about what makes this show stand out, whether the cops are playing fair with Naz, and WTF is up with John Turturro's feet. You think juries can be swayed by faulty cell tower evidence, but how about something as sure-fire as DNA? We hear from science writer Chris Berdik about how DNA mixtures from a single sample are complicating the scientific process...and how the DNA used to convict some suspects is now being used to exonerate them. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! We'll announce which crime book you have chosen for the Crime Writers On first Summer Book Club. Use that Amazon link to buy your copy. We'll have a special interactive show to get your views and discuss our thoughts (bring your own white wine). Grab your smartphone for the Crime of the Week. People our out in the real world hunting for Pokémon and some are finding more than just Pikachus!

0:00.0	Hey Kevin. Yes, Rebecca. I have news. You always have news and it always happens when
0:06.5	we're sitting in this closet. We are officially the CEOs of a media empire. Okay. Despite the
0:14.9	fact that we can't both be CEOs. We're co CEOs. All right. So let's just say I'm the
0:20.5	CEO. You're the CEO. All right. But get to this media empire thing. Well, you know how
0:25.0	at the end of our podcast, we say brought to you by partners in a crime media. Right.
0:29.6	It's actually a thing now. I thought it was just a BS thing. No, it's a thing. It exists.
0:33.7	It's actually an entity. It's a DBA in business parlance. Yeah. And we actually have another
0:40.7	show that is going to be sharing the partners in crime media affiliation. Oh, it's going
0:47.1	to be like a network. We adopted a show. Okay. Which one is this? So we have a fan. Her
0:52.4	name is Kelsey Erickson. You may know her on Twitter as just Kelsey. Kelsey has a very
0:57.4	unusual day job. She has been involved in the body transport business. You may like
1:02.7	as a hit man. No, like she goes to crime scenes or scenes of deaths or just places where
1:08.8	people died and picks up the body and brings it to wherever it has to go. She's doing
1:13.8	God's work. She's doing a death transport. Anyway, Kelsey has an adorable little podcast.
1:20.8	It's called Deathcast. It's brand new and only has a couple of short episodes. And I
1:26.0	don't know. I think it's got a lot of potential. So I asked her if she would join our network.
1:30.0	So if people want to sample deathcast, how can they do that? They can go to iTunes and
1:34.2	search for deathcast. They can go to audio boom and search for deathcast. Any place
1:37.8	to get your podcasts. We're going to be submitting the fee to Stitcher to Google Play to
1:42.2	all of those places. But right now your best bet is audio boom or iTunes. Search for
1:46.4	deathcast and you will see Kelsey Erickson and partners in crime media. Can I have my
1:50.9	favorite thing about deathcast? Sure. Supposed to be a podcast about death. Yeah. It's
