In today's podcast episode of "Only Murders in My Mind," hosts Carol, Mike, and Liz delve into the intriguing role of humor in murder mystery stories. They explore how humor can be strategically used to lighten what would typically be very dark and intense narratives. By incorporating comedic elements, these stories become more engaging and palatable for the audience, offering relief from the tension and making the darker moments more impactful when they do occur.
