Crime reporter Bill Dunphy (Hamilton Spectator, Toronto Sun) tells Adam of a murder, but that’s only one part of the story. This month’s tale is about two lives lost, the police who fail the mentally ill, and how stories like this just keep happening.

Adam’s It’s Just A Show co-host Dr. Beth swings by Thereby to talk about motherhood, teen snobbery, and doula pregnancy coaches.

Actor-producer Mikaela Dyke sits down with Adam to discuss the conception and production of her one-woman show, Dying Hard.

Author Seamus Heffernan (Napalm Hearts) swings by Thereby to tell Adam about post-divorce life and how it fuelled him to write his novel.

Author Juanita Critch (In the Boss’ Bed, Eye of the Beholder) tells Adam how she got her start as an author by writing romance. Wrestling romance fanfic. Specifically, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wrestling romance fanfic.

She’s a comedian. She’s a painter. She’s a cartoonist. She’s Sarah Walsh and she can’t wait to tell you why she has a guinea pig in her freezer. Plus, Adam has two movie recommendations on the topic of dead pets. Not as depressing as it sounds!

Comedian and podcaster Jordan Scherer joins Adam to tell a few stories about how being a cringey youth caused him to make a girl cry, insult anyone who wasn’t an atheist, and use middle fingers with wild abandon.

Jessica Ritchey (critic and essayist for rogerebert.com), tells us of growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness in North Carolina, the pains of disfellowshipping, and how Big Bird became her God-killer.

Picking up from last episode, Matthew Esteves tells us about his experiences with Pick-Up Artists, why “the seduction community” is the absolute worst, and using his Thought Slime YouTube channel to reach men who could potentially be suckered in by PUAs.

Matthew Esteves quit doing something that defined him: stand-up comedy.
