Many of you know that I was an author before I was a podcaster, and those worlds collide

0:11.9

with my new audiobook, The Mother Next Door, Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by proxy,

0:16.8

which I co-authored with Detective Mike Weber, and which I narrate. If you want to dive into these three fascinating cases, you can listen wherever you get your audiobooks.
