Hey, Crime Town listeners, Zach here.

I want to tell you about a new podcast that I think you're really going to love, because

well, we made it.

Apple just named it one of the best podcasts of 2019 so far.

It's under our banner, Crime Town Presents, hosted by dear friend Iotilette Wright, and

it's called The Ballad of Billy Balls.

The Ballad of Billy Balls begins with a murder in New York City in the early 80s, a

place in time where punk musicians mingled with Hell's Angels and dope dealers ran entire

city blocks.

But what starts as a simple murder investigation becomes a twisting tale of love and loss,

the tender binds of family and the stories we tell ourselves just to survive.

That doesn't mean we don't get to the bottom of the mystery.

We do.

And it's a roller coaster.

This part is all 13 episodes are available to binge right now on Apple podcasts, Spotify,

or wherever you listen.

We're going to give you a little taste of that first episode right here, and if you like

it, head on over and listen to the rest of the show.

All right, here's The Ballad of Billy Balls.

One of your cup-putted, very bluntly, what happened early this morning on the lower

side must have been the work of a psycho, a man walked into a coffee shop and started shooting.

It's the mid-70s in New York City.
