Hi, I'm Brad Milkey. I'm the host of the Crime Scene Weekly, a new show from ABC Audio about the latest headlines in true crime.

This week on the show, a man was allegedly held hostage and tortured at a New York City townhouse for over two weeks, and police say it was all for his Bitcoin password.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's that phrase at the end, it's a perfect button. You need this thing that sums it all up.

That was my great writing lesson from Barbara Walters, from the great Barbara Walters.

And we all have great stories from Barbara. I wrote something for her, an intro to something,

and she goes, it needs a ta-da. It's Deborah Roberts. And today on the 2020 after show,

I am delighted. I have the pleasure of introducing you to one of the people who makes

2020's Secret Sauce, which is our powerful writing. You'll understand the play there. My friend and

colleague Kim Powers, our senior writer for the program. Hey, Kim. Powerful writing are us. That's

what we do. Mr. Powers. I'm so happy to be here. We have been in the trenches

together all these years. And you and I always find ourselves just talking and yacking in the

hallways and we talk about books and all kinds of things. And that's relevant for first of all,

you've been here 10 years at 2020, but 28 years at ABC. Yeah yeah Disney gives out a little statuette of some

Disney character every five years so by the time I've been here 30 years what do you get I don't know

what I'll get I've got Simba I've got Mickey Mouse I've got Tinkerbell yeah me too you know I want to be

excited by whatever comes next.

I know.

Well, I'm about to hit 30 years, so I'll let you know.

I feel like we started at about the same time.

Close to the same time.

I was low level in the trenches.
