Disgraceland reviewed, the Pope's final con, & Dassey's SCOTUS appeal

Before we take a week off for school vacation (thank you, children) we'll circle back to some important True Crime Updates. The election to fill the statehouse seat of the late Danny Ray Johnson, subject of the "The Pope's Long Con," was this week...and it wasn't even close. "Making a Murderer"'s Branden Dassey has asked SCOTUS for a Writ of Cert (we'll explain what that means).The headliner for this show is the rock'n'roll-themed "Disgraceland." No interviews. No investigations. No audio tape. Not even the artists' music. Just a host spinning tales of musicians behaving very badly. Does this new chart-topper hit all the right notes?In Crime of the Week, it's one thumb down.  Donate to Kevin's Walk-a-Mile: ERAS fundraiser for the Crisis Center of Ctr NH.For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.Sign up for our newsletter at crimewriterson.com.
