Show Notes

Today, we're speaking with a writer!!! Can you believe it? Ben Smith co-wrote Episode 10 with John Hoffman. We'll talk with the Director of Episode 10 Jamie Babbitt. And we'll talk with John Hoffman, Co-Creator, Showrunner, co-writer of this episode, north star, angel.

We'll talk about discovering who really killed Ben Glenroy (and how!), opening night of Death Rattle Dazzle, and improvising on set. Just so you know, we will talk about the music, just not in too much detail today. The real music conversation will be on Friday and you won't want to miss it.

Just a heads up, there are spoilers for episode 10. So listeners, if you haven't watched, stream it now and come right back!

We’ll be back again on Friday for more Murders. And please send us your theories about the new murder introduced in the finale!
