Episode 2: The Night I Messaged a Murderer

What do Harry Styles, a giant light-up concert sign, unclaimed packages, and a quadruple murder have in common? Absolutely nothing. But we're talking about all of them. Mary and Jenny are back in the sauna for Episode 2 of The Write Collab Podcast, and this week, things take a turn. First up, Mary recaps her trip to New York City to see Harry Styles, including the adventure of getting a giant light-up sign through TSA and finally seeing Harry up close. Then Jenny shares a truly chilling personal connection to a quadruple murder. What started as an ordinary message to someone she knew from childhood became something she never could have imagined. On a slightly less terrifying note, Mary takes us along for her morning ritual of Coffee, Cruisin' & Crimin', where true-crime podcasts and unexpected jump scares are part of the daily commute. In the Writer's Room, we're diving into Blanket Truth, Mary's novel in progress. We're talking first chapters, the realities of writing and rewriting a book, and one phone call that changes everything after 26 years. And, of course, we're putting Ask Harry, our trusty Magic 8-Ball, to work. Skinny jeans? Separate bathrooms? The Irish goodbye? Harry has opinions. Well, answers, anyway.
