DARK AS HELL: A TRUE CRIME PODCAST

Beyond the bragging right facts that I was born in October and I shared my childhood home with ghost poodles (which is a story for another time) — I suppose my appreciation for the creepy and telling stories starts at the beginning, and the beginning of this adventure is actually here, in my hometown, of Providence, Rhode Island. Here on College Hill, I grew up knowing the campus quad of Brown University was mine to run wild through, though we all avoided the clock tower in the lower green

because we all knew it was haunted by a pox-infested couple from centuries ago; and the cozy nooks of the Providence Athenaeum where I learned to read were inspired by the fact Edgar Alan Poe had a similar love for those same corners and nooks. Even now, as an adult, my apartment sits quite literally in the shadow of the former pied-a-terre belonging to beloved, federally indicted, twice-elected Mayor Buddy Cianci, who allegedly almost beat a man to death in said apartment. If it isn't already clear, I’ve got a thing for the spook factor, and it runs deep. So if you’re looking for a place to explore your own penchant for the spooky and the macabre with a side of dry humor and justice-seeking, welcome. Let’s get ready to get Dark As Hell.

What is your podcast about?

Dark as Hell is a weekly true crime podcast dedicated to discussing mysterious stories, asking the inexplicable #questions that arise when it comes to matters of a dark and twisty nature, and exploring the theories that have turned us all into armchair detectives in this little corner of the true crime world.

If you had to place your podcast in a genre, which would be the best fit?

True crime, with a healthy dose of dark humor all wrapped into a detailed storytelling narrative.

Who is the target audience for this podcast?

Anyone who has an interest in true crime, appreciates dark comedy, and finds themselves asking critical #QUESTIONS when things don't add up.

How often do you release your podcasts?

New episodes drop every Monday. For my Patreon subscribers, they have access

to bonus content, exclusive extra episodes, and a livestream event each month, depending on their tier.

How long, on average, is each podcast?:

I aim to make each episode at least 45 minutes — depending on the case, they're liable to go over, though! I'm very detailed oriented, and dedicated to telling these stories as accurately as I can to do the victims justice.

How long have you been working in podcasting?

Just about 4 months — I started working on Dark As Hell in mid-May, and the first episode dropped on June 1st.

What is your favorite thing about podcasting?

I love being able to combine my innate love of writing and my long-standing interest in true crime into a format that both fulfills me personally, and entertains other true crime aficionados.

What inspired you to start this podcast?

I, like many people, was laid off by COVID-19 in May, so I found myself with a LOT of extra time on my hands very suddenly. I had actually been writing what I called "theses" about some of my pet cases for some friends in a true crime Facebook group before being laid off, and they'd long been begging me to start a podcast. After getting laid off, I decided to just go for it! It's been an insane amount of fun, and as natural people person, I've loved being able to connect with so many people in a time when connection feels even more important. I'm very grateful to have been able to turn a scary personal turn of events into a fulfilling silver lining.

Anything else you would like to add?

Dark As Hell streams on Spotify, Apple, Google Podcasts, Anchor, Breaker, Pocket Casts, and RadioPublic — hopefully coming to other smaller platforms as well in the near future. Come check out the show; I'd love for you to stick around as a DAH Patreon Crew member if you're liking what you're hearing and want to further support my work.
