Ok all you 10-ers!  We are delivering a topic into Studio 50 that many of us are obsessed with:  TRUE CRIME.  Whether we lean into docuseries, binge streaming shows or podcasts, over 1/3 of mainstream audiences are consuming true crime.

We are bringing two of the best to chop it up with Michelle and Laurie.  Co-Hosts of the award winning, hit true crime podcast "Small Town Dicks," Yeardley Smith and Detective Dan.  Small Town Dicks is a podcast about the big time crime that's happening in Small Town USA. It's gritty, eye opening and sure to get you down the rabbit hole.

Yeardley Smith is also an Emmy Award winning actress, novelist and playwright who has appeared on television, film and Broadway.  She has been the voice of Lisa Simpson on Fox's hit television show "The Simpsons" since 1987.

Detective Dan is a seasoned, retired police detective who has investigated violent crimes.  Together they will get under the hood in the world of true crime

We head to the high desert of Nevada to play with large Excavators and make a mess of the dirt!  Along the way we discuss Stephen Kings 1986 foray into directing MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE.  Will we cause as much havoc on the road as the unwieldy machines of this cult classic?  Join us and find out!

Another Effin' Podcast About Sitcom is four friends, Mo Laikowski, Stan Laikowski, Luke Ward and Dan McInerney, watching sitcoms and carefully pulling all the joy out of them.  This week, they're watching the "Marge v. The Monorail“ episode from The Simpsons.

Maybe it's your last day of work before the holidays. Or maybe you're traveling and you need something ridiculous to listen to while you're driving, or waiting in an airport. Never fear! A Cure for the Common Craig is here, with a year-end holiday treat for the listeners! Or is it? This movie doesn't exactly have a glowing reputation. But how can that possibly be the case? You have Stephen King directing, Emilio Estevez crawling through a sewer, the face of the Green Goblin on a truck, AC/DC rockin' on the soundtrack, and Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, nagging her newlywed husband, all in one movie! Guns, explosions, death by steamroller! What could possibly go wrong? It's time for testosterone overload, with Maximum Overdrive (1986)! We even manage to work in a minor Emilio Estevez actor autopsy! Because we love him. And then from there, the episode ends. And you enjoy your year-end holiday stuff and stay safe, damn it!

Head to Tosche station and make a stop at the royal palace, it's a new episode of Go Fact Yourself!

Yeardley Smith has been the voice of Lisa Simpson since 1989. Yeardley’s normal voice actually sounds very similar to the voice of her famous character, but she’ll explain the subtle ways that it’s changed over the years. You can hear Yeardley on “The Simpsons” and on the true crime podcast “Small Town Dicks.” Plus, she was an expert on episode 57 of Go Fact Yourself!

Ryan Kalil is a ten-year veteran of the NFL. He played center for the Carolina Panthers for most of his career. Even though he’s spent most of his life as an athlete, his early passions were steeped in pop culture and comedy. He’ll tell us about how his love for superheroes led to him becoming a jock. Ryan is also the founder of the production company Mortal Media.

Our guests will answer questions about the dark side of the force, the strong side of sports and the Walt Disney family of entertainment.
