369: DEXTER Season 1

He's "America's favorite serial killer!" DEXTER is a melodramatic thriller series, with REALLY inventive murderers...and you KNOW we like a grim detective story. With "Dexter: Original Sin" coming out, we decided to look back at the beginning of the franchise. The Ice Truck Killer likes to freeze his victims...but is this show still cool, or has it gone bad?

I love ~Kris~ (pronounced the way Will says it sometimes like between his teeth?? Like, "kre-aws" almost??) and Willie SO much, I wait 1-2 weeks to listen to their episodes so that I always have a little backlog in case of emergencies! Such an emergency happened on a recent trip, where I was unfortunately up to date, so I listened to the whole of Book Club Shmook Club while I waited for them to upload a new ep. And then I enjoyed them even more after that!!! Truly a top tier podcast!!! Wahoo!!

"Guide to the Unknown" is the perfect blend of spooky stories and sibling humor! Kristen and Will make each episode feel like a fun chat with friends, covering everything from ghosts to urban legends with wit and real research. It’s the perfect mix of chills and laughs — highly recommend for anyone who loves a good mystery!
I survived Scarmuto!! (And enjoyed it!)

Guide to the Unknown is genuinely one of my favorite podcasts of all time. Will and Kristen’s banter reminds me of the kind of banter I might have with my friends. Phrases such as “wet puppetry” and “scarmuto” are now part of my regular lexicon and I cannot thank y'all enough. I come for the spooks and stay for the laughs. Keep up the great work yall!
