    Lights! Camera! WTF?!? Buckle up Slaycaters—this week we’re diving into the mysterious death and very off-the-rails life of Bob Crane, beloved star of Hogan's Heroes. You might know the name. You might even know the case. But trust us—you don’t know the half of it… and you definitely haven’t heard it told like this. We’re heading deep into one of Hollywood’s darkest rabbit holes—where the laughs stop, the secrets pile up, and the alibis get… questionable. “I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing… except this murder.” As always, thanks for listening—and try to stay out of strange hotel rooms!

    Oh boy…here we go again. Another Slaycation that will have you throwing whatever you have nearby at the wall in a fit of rage and disbelief while screaming, “What the actual F?!?” Yep, this one is a real doozy featuring a true-life Mommie Dearest story as told by our very own Slay Dunaway, Kim. As always, the less you know the better — but just know On May 11, 2011, six-year-old American boy Timmothy James Pitzen was dropped off at school in Aurora, Illinois, by his father James Pitzen. He was picked up shortly after by his mother, Amy Fry-Pitzen, who took him on a three-day trip to various amusement and water parks. Sounds great until you remember this is Slaycation!

I absolutely love this podcast!! I wish there was more than one episode a week to listen to. I love the dark humour as it makes a change to most of the true crime podcasts out there and the three hosts Kim, Adam and Gerry are equally brilliant and funny in their unique way.

Looking forward to many more episodes, keep up the good work,

love Angela in the UK.
