All I Want For Christmas Month begins with a perspective-giving crash course in how bad a bad year can be. True crime takes a backseat to true catastrophe as Christopher and Eric count down the final weeks of 2024, a year they’d desperately like to put in their rearview mirror. What better way to distract themselves from the personal disasters that littered their last twelve months than with some historical cataclysms that put the trials of these dreadful 365 days in perspective. Christopher takes us to the Canary Islands in 1977 where bad planning and a pilot’s arrogance put two fully loaded 747s on a collision course with fiery hell — and dramatically improved safety regulations for the aviation industry. Then Eric ships us off to the Sunda Strait, 1883, where the island of Krakatoa teaches us humbling — and terrifying — lessons about the fragility of life and the power of the earth underfoot, lessons literally heard halfway around the world.
New York Times bestselling novelists Christopher Rice (The Burning Girl Series) and Eric Shaw Quinn (The Write Murder Mysteries) return to their studio on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip for an all new podcast that’s all talk. Join them for their trademark blend of humor, irreverence and passionate opinion as they dish on some of the most popular true crime TV shows of the moment in their recurring, special feature “Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club”. (A production of TDPS, the same network that brought you the comedy/variety and celebrity interview filled fun of The Dinner Party Show.)
