Most Notorious! A True Crime History Podcast

Okay, so I’ve been a fan of this most excellent podcast and its host for a long time, and I’m just now writing a review - shame on me - but Erik Rivenes knows how to interview an author right. Unlike many interviewers who like to hear themselves talk, Erik gives the guest permission to take center stage. Almost all of the interviews I’ve listened to are fascinating because the guest gets to tell us why his or her book has demanded their passion, and that never disappoints. Here’s how you know that Erik is an expert interviewer: time and time again, I’ve heard the guest tell him that his question was never asked before, or shows he’s been listening, or is very insightful. That happens all the time. Yay you, Erik!

I will not follow or support a show that accepts disgusting advertising for ICE, which is destroying our due process rights. When the show stops accepting this advertising I will return. Very sorry I really liked the show but am appalled at the advertising choices.

eric, i can’t follow a show that doesn’t push back on this administration’s assault on truth. as a close reader, you know sometimes you must act. good luck!

I’ve listened to Most Notorious for years now. Over and over and over authors have said to Erik, “Good question!” or “You’ve obviously read the book!” Erik comes to his interviews totally prepared. If you are looking for a rollicking good story every time out of the block, smartly told, Erik is your man. Gangsters, pirates, cowboys, sheisters, they are all here. Also, if you enjoy reading true crime, Erik will point you on the direction of the best books out there.
