On this new season's inaugural episode of Liminal Criminals, we delve into the life of Kensington Hawthorne, better known as "The Smooth Jazz Killer." From his not-so-humble beginnings as the scion of the Hawthorne family, to his early career as a jazz-bar pianist in Manhattan, we dig into the origins of this depraved musical genius.
Well, uh, "genius" might be a bit of a strong word there.

HEY YOU. YES YOU. This episode is part of a series. If you haven't yet heard the first 2 (or 2.5) parts of it, this episode won't make any sense to you.
In today's episode, we reach the conclusion of the Houseboat Mafia. How did the criminal empire react to the arrest of their beloved leader, Dockside Dick? How did the mighty syndicate go toe-to-toe with a gang of industrialist oligarchs? How did they fall so quickly? Find out, only on Liminal Criminals.
(Actually those last two might be related now that I think about it. )

Podcast Q&A

Why did you start this show?

I like writing, I like making people laugh, and I like thinking of awful things happening to people in outlandish ways.

What do you hope listeners gain from listening to your show?

Oh you know, the usual. Chuckles. Chortles. Maybe a guffaw if you're feeling frisky.

Which episode should someone start with?

It's an anthology show, so you can basically start anywhere! I would recommend starting off at the beginning, however.

Which have been your favourite episodes so far?

Episode 3, "The Eastumfordshire Dick-Kicker," because I'm fundamentally a child.

Which episode are you most proud of?

"Tales of the Smooth Jazz Killer, Part 2" has some original pieces done by Cornu Ammonis, the guy I've chained to a computer in my baseme--I mean, "our in-house composer." I think it's pretty neat.

What is your vision for your show?

Blurry unless I have my glasses.

What is your favourite other podcast that isn't yours?

Pretending to be People is my all-time favorite podcast. The Beef and Dairy Network is probably the podcast that's influenced this show the most. I also enjoy Behind the Bastards and Castle Super Beast.

How did you come up with the name for your podcast?

It rhymes, and my #2 contender was "Crime Lies When You're Having Fun." Really, it's no contest. That being said, there is another reason for the title. A secret one that I hope to reveal after getting a little bit more traction.

Tell us a bit about yourself

I ate your trash last night.
