The Crime Is Up Podcast showcases the best in hard-boiled, criminal tales. Each episode brings you brand new crime fiction stories as read by a talented cast of actors. And it’s a hybrid podcast! The second part features your hosts, good buddies Chris and Will, ruminating about film noir classics, underappreciated crime films, or pulp novels they love. And all the while they do it with wit and humor and charm and terrible jokes and all the characteristics you could possibly hope for in two podcast hosts.
