I'm Rebecca LaVoy and this is Crime Riders on the original true crime review podcast that digs into true crime,

pop culture, journalism, and this week we'll take another look at one of New York's most infamous crimes in

Netflix's When They See Us. Plus we'll offer our first impressions on crooked media's new podcast this land and a very big

true crime podcast update from a show that is very close to home.

Joining me to get that done and maybe some more is my real-life husband and true crime co-author, former TV journalist and sexy voice hunk,

Kevin Flynn. Hello, Kevin. Hello, Rebecca.

Also with us is journalist true crime author, former defense investigator licensed private investigator and certified cat lady,

Laura Bricker. Hello, Laura. Hello. Yes. My certified cat lady status is kind of waning right now because my cats won't listen to me. They've taken over the dogs,

recuperation bed. That's right. They're assholes. This is what we've been trying to tell you for years cats are assholes. Pretty much. Now pretty much.

And finally, our captain of woke cynicism, the author behind the noir novels known as the city trilogy and our Patreon book club host Toby ball. Hello, Toby.

Happy Pride Month, Rebecca. Yes. Happy Pride Month to all of you. We are happy to be allies. I saw the Facebook thing. You mean our art or new art for our logos? Yeah.

Well, we don't want to vertue signals. Let's not talk about it too much. Needless to say, we're happy to be allies.

So to kick off the show, I want to do something that we often do on the show that Kevin often introduces, but because Kevin is still trying to rest his voice a little bit.

We have a guest with us. We'll not with us, but a guest of the show who's going to take care of this little element for us.

That was one of our favorite listeners, Tom Haggy or Haggy, not sure how to pronounce it, who sent us that little video of him filling in for you, Kevin. How did he do?

Great job. I might have to have him back for a couple of weeks.

I like Tom because Tom, Tom says he often agrees with me. So that makes me so happy.

Well, there was huge news related to the Bear Brook podcast this week. And I want to get your reactions to this because it was also a local story for us here in New Hampshire.

As you all know, we didn't read technically review the Bear Brook podcast on this show because I helped produce it a little bit. And that would be weird. But one of us was on it. And you were actually on it. Yes.

And I think that, you know, after the the hoax at case, after the podcast, you know, there was really a feeling that you have this could be done if the resources are set aside.

The biggest most famous cold case in New Hampshire, the pocket case. I think up until yours.
