On Rebecca LaVoy and this is Crime Raiders on, the true crime review podcast that digs into

the podcast pop culture and this week will weigh in on that Game of Thrones finale you are all talking about a week ago.

Sorry, that's just how our production schedule works. Then we'll review White Lies, a podcast that looks at an unsolved murder tied to the

fight for civil rights in Selma, Alabama. Joining me to get that done and more is journalist true crime author, former defense investigator, licensed private investigator, resident rage walker and tropical cocktail evangelist, Laura Bricker.

Hello Laura. Hello, yes, I have a new tropical cocktail. It's actually called the tropical martini. My new fit. It's quite delicious. You like it better than the painkiller? Yes or no?

It's a different kind of thing. I think I kind of like you know when you have something so much, then you're like I don't want to have it anymore.

Yes, done with the painkillers for a while. Gotcha.

So by the end of the summer, I will probably be done with the tropical martini at the Cedog in Accidor, but until then I'm going to ride the wave.

All right, ride it. Also with us is our captain of woksinacism, the author behind the noir novels known as the city trilogy and our Patreon book club host Toby ball. Good evening Toby.

And I'm also the token male.

The token male. It's true. I was just going to like let that slide. Just not introduce Kevin and see if anyone noticed. No, I'm just kidding. Of course I wasn't going to do that.

Kevin Flynn, my wonderful husband, true crime co-author, former TV journalist, and also my partner in crime here and on Patreon is not taping with us this evening. He is recovering from his cancer surgery, which he had just a few days ago.

And his voice is a little bit weak. He's pretty tired. He's doing pretty well. And you can get updates about him. If you follow us on social media and our Facebook group. And he's very active there.

But I think he's going to be back next week at full speed. And we're just going to have to soldier on without him. Toby, are you confident that we will be able to do that?

In some ways, yes. In some ways, too much.

I'm worried about the transitions.

Yeah.

I know.

Well, advertisers are not going to be happy. I have it so funny because you know what my plan is for that. It's just a freaking wing it. I actually have no idea what's going to happen.

We'll have to find out. Shall we?

All right.
