Crime Capsule 100th Celebration Giveaway

Crime Capsule 100th Celebration Giveaway

Hi, Crime Capsule fans. It's your host, Benjamin, here. I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for joining us these past two months for our 100th-episode celebration. If you've heard me say it once, you've heard me say it a thousand times. We still can't quite believe we made it this far. We're wrapping things up.

Now, before we go, every good party has party favors, and this one is no exception. To mark the 100th, Arcadia Publishing is giving away not one, but two books authored by our most recent guests, and they can be yours with just one simple email. The first. is a physical copy of Kate Zaliznack's The Doodler Murders of San Francisco, which you can hear more about in our interview with Kate just a few weeks ago, and the one last year. The second book is a digital copy of Rita Shuler's Murder in the Midlands, which she told us about in some detail just last week. All you have to do to enter is email us at [email protected]. Again, that's [email protected]. In that email, include your name, your city, and one topic that you would like to hear on a future crime capsule episode. We are always on the lookout for new ideas for books to cover and authors to interview.

So we would love to hear from you about what you would like to hear more about. It could be paranormal, could be heists, could be spies, could be lady murderers, could be anything. Just tell us your name, your city, and one topic you would like to hear about on a future show, and we will select two names from the pile to give these books away to. Now, here's the thing time is ticking. You have one week to do this, so get on it. Our entries are going to close on July 4th. Now again, that email is [email protected]. In the meantime, we'll prepare our next full series of original episodes for you. No spoilers, but it's gonna be killer.

So thanks again for everything and we will see you soon. Get this week, but before we get to that, we just wanted to say it's been a real journey, a labor of love and a labor of joy, and we could not have done it without you. We're grateful to our staff at Evergreen and Arcadia. We're grateful to our authors, our guests, but most of all to you, our listeners who tune in each week to hear the latest in true crime writing and scholarship. So thanks. Here's to the next 100.
