Hi, it's Phoebe.

We're planning a virtual live event on August 24th.

It's going to include criminal trivia, you can play along and win prizes, and I'll be

performing some magic tricks.

To join us, become a criminal plus premium member.

You'll also get to listen to all of our episodes without any ads.

And bonus episodes where criminal co-creator Lauren Spor and I take you behind the scenes

and talk about how we find our stories.

And for criminal plus, at thisiscriminal.com slash plus.

And thanks very much for your support.
