Hosts Nic and the Captain invite you to grab a chair, grab a beer and join them as they talk some true crime. This is no ordinary garage: it’s a rabbit hole of true crime, with a generous supply of alcohol and banter to lighten the load. From international atrocities to heinous stories on (US) home turf, dive head-first into a different case each week, and enjoy a cold one whilst your there. If you consider yourself an armchair detective, you’re in the right place, and you’re amongst friends. For the mystery-seeker, True Crime Garage presents an archive of missing persons, unsolved and cold cases, plus accounts of infamous serial killers and chilling solved cases. True Crime Garage has just one rule: don’t litter. Remember to not take yourself too seriously because if you do, nobody else will.

The Mermaid and the Lion is a scripted audio drama about two imperfect people who are working on perfecting their love for one another. All relationships are not created equal and no one has the right to determine if your situation is toxic but you. Staying married forever is almost an anomaly; and those who make it have a very dirty story to tell. Angel and Gazza believe they are on the right path to making it last; but the key to their success is understanding where they've been, what brought them together, and what keeps them in love. You may or may not agree with their decisions, interactions, or values but you are guaranteed to be entertained. Follow them through all of the drama, sex, trust issues, pain, growth, and friendship. The Mermaid and The Lion - An epic journey to death do us part.Mature Audience (18+)

Most people that know James K Jones today are shocked to learn he spent a better part of a decade in prison. Although he has been out of prison for over 20 years, according to his multiple charges (including a federal offense), he should still be there.

His life in prison: the people, the hustles, the corruption, and profound insights he uncovered about himself, others, and life in general. Ultimately, James believes being locked up saved his life. This is James telling his story, that has now become a part of Haley's story. Together, they take you on the journey- with all the drama and dirty details that ultimately led to freedom.
