Chapter 2.19 - More than Meets the Eye in Only Murders in the Building

The comedy about true crime shows that there is usually more than what we see on the surface

Alicia and Sarah discuss their personal history with the mystery genre and the world of podcasting as they analyze Hulu's original series, Only Murders in the Building. They discuss the mystery genre, the role of podcasting and true crime, and the complex layers that get peeled away in a good mystery tale. At the end of the discussion, they talk about the things they've been reading, watching, and analyzing outside of the classroom.
