Podcaster Q&A
Tell us about yourself – what is your background?
Dave and Garrett met in an Academy class when they both were hired for their current job in 2015 and became fast friends, despite their age difference of nearly 20 years.
Why did you get into podcasting?
Dave wanted to begin a podcast with his sons in 2019, so he bought some equipment and set up an area in the basement of his house. However, scheduling conflicts with work and his youngest son attending college, those plans fell through. Dave was now left with this equipment and rather than sell it or give it away, he figured he'd give it a go on his own, then The Serialholic, a narrative, true crime podcast was born. It would be a couple years before the concept of Criminal AF came about.
How did the idea for the show come about?
When COVID hit in 2020, the isolation from the rest of the world in addition to trying to produce a full length podcast by himself, Dave struggled to keep The Serialholic going. The show would continue, albeit sparingly, through the rest of 2020 and 2021. In the fall of 2021, Dave approached Garrett with an idea to create a more interactive podcast, where it would combine Dave's storytelling, with Garrett's upbeat attitude and skill at conversation. In 2022, Criminal AF debuted.
What do you hope listeners take from the show?
The goal is to change the stigma of True Crime storytelling. Rather than telling a story in a dark and ominous tone, it can be told in a way that makes true crime stories fascinating, intriguing and dare we say, fun. Dave and Garrett's personalities really show in the episodes and prove that there can even be comedy found within these stories.
What's been the biggest challenge for you?
The biggest challenge, is juggling Criminal AF with their other Full Time job. Hours and schedules can often change in an instant, causing delays in recording and production.
How can your listeners support your show?
Criminal AF has a Patreon account where supporters of the show can join a membership for as little as $2 per month. For a one-time donation, they can support through Paypal. Both can be found within their profile or by visiting CriminalAF.llc
Any future plans that you'd like to share?
We will soon be diversifying the Criminal AF brand with a second podcast, currently in the development stage. The hope is that both podcasts will help take Criminal AF, LLC to the next level.
