Alice Sullivan, Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake
We're reading the Harry Potter novels and podcasting about them! Join us as we walk down the halls of memory and of Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts! We are Alice Sullivan (@alicemsullivan), Micah Sparkman, and Jeff Lake (@jeff_lake).
We're reading the Wheel of Time series of fantasy novels by Robert Jordan! We read them when we were younger, but now we are wiser. Why? Because they're so much fun! Adventure, magic, battles, politics, treachery, horses, braid-pulling... these books are top flight entertainment. They're also, as the kids say these days, "problematic". We'll dig into it as we go. We read about 5 chapters every episode, and we recap the events of the story, so you don't have to read along unless you want to. ...
Thought provoking lectures from the world's sharpest minds. Science talks from the Royal Institution every month.
When a woman is found dead in a pool during a swank West Hollywood party, her friends become the suspects. But without physical evidence or a confession, the case quickly goes cold. Ten years later, on the heels of one suspect's bid for mayor, host K.C. Casey is ready to heat the case back up with an investigation into the group originally accused of talking, laughing and loving their friend to death.

Bite-Sized Crime is a weekly podcast that highlights lesser-known cases in the world of true crime. Get your true crime fix on your lunch break with bite-sized episodes just right for your schedule.
