Chap62: Body in the Bayou, Part 2 [crime/suspense]
Clarence discusses a fundraiser for a fellow writer on Tiktok. Shaun goes into detail about his newest rap review podcast, co-hosted by James Shannon of Blare Radio. And the writers discuss the pitfalls of being a creator in the age of social media, and the constant war with algorithms.
At around 42:40, the latest Detective Jade tale continues in Part 2 of "Bodies in the Bayou." The plot thickens in this week's fully improvised tale as Jade and Detective Bailey uncover some more sinister, and perhaps satanic, elements of the murders around downtown New Orleans.
