Episode Synopsis

Why are we so obsessed with murder podcasts, grisly documentaries, and shows that make us double-check the locks at night? In this episode of The Jocular Pugilists, Phil confesses (don’t worry, it’s not a felony) that he works in the world of true crime podcasting—and drags Tomas down the rabbit hole of blood, forensics, and chainsaws that run out of gas mid-decapitation. Yep, that happened.Join us as we debate:Why true crime is the murdery comfort food of mediaWhether DNA and forensic science are the real stars of the showIf loving serial killer content makes you weird (it might)And how one assassination literally changed the course of historyAlso featuring: O.J. jokes, Sherlock references, pig-eating-corpse theories, and the unsettling realization that the calmest people might be the most dangerous. Sleep tight.👀 Rated M for Morbid Curiosity.Let us know what you think. Email Phil or Tomas at: [email protected] check out our website at: thejocularpugilists.com
