Shot of Crime With a Twist of Lime Ash & Bela Have you ever been sitting in a restaurant enjoying your subpar meal and suddenly swept away in a conversation nearby? This is a show made by people as anonymous as the stranger next to you. The stories and responses are real and genuine. We want you to be a fly on the wall of the most absurd and fascinating tales. We don’t need you to care about who we are... just what we have to say. Now sit back, relax and try not make it obvious that you’re eavesdropping. To Spit in God's Eye QuietPlease.org Productions Full cast science fiction murder mystery mini-series. It's the 22nd century after genetic experimentation has shattered humanity. It was the first QuietPlease.org Production, so it's a little rough with subpar acting. Synthopsis Cemal Ozgur Synthwave in a Synopsis! Every week, I talk about something related to synthwave with added doses of dank beats, speculative commentary, puns, and cringe humor. Be sure to follow on Twitter @SynthopsisPod for regular updates, new releases, and subpar humor! CRAP NOIR CRAP NOIR Podcast Team We are CRAP NOIR – a podcast team dedicated to bringing you some subpar jokes along with a moderately funny twist on the classic noir genre and detective radio shows of years past. Beth is a downtrodden twenty-something – completely SHOCKED that no one wants to hire her with her oddly specific and definitely legitimate Master’s degree in Detective Literature. She spends her time searching Craiglist for jobs that require her highly-sought-after expertise, thanks to the free WiFi at local New Jersey coffee shop, The Big Steam. She bugs her favorite mediocre barista, Jim Jam, for hours on end so her mother believes she isn’t an unemployable failure. Luckily for Beth, her first case finally emerges when friendly farm chicken, Esmeralda, disappears. Time to see if Beth’s degree holds up in the real-world!
