    The Spectrum of Embarrassment w/ Sulaiman Beg

    The Spectrum of Embarrassment w/ Sulaiman Beg

    Welcome all you potential prime suspects! It's a murderous day for a podcasting and, today, through the miracle and sound loss of Zoom, we've got another bicoastal edition of "Won't You Be My Killer?" What a special occasion it is as your friendly neighborhood victim and host, Evan Kessler, welcomes his friend of 20-plus years, New York City improv stalwart, Sulaiman Beg (Metal Boy, Magnet Theater). Together they'll compare mortifying onstage moments, reference movies the other one hasn't seen, and discuss building a better band name - but when our guest finally becomes untethered all bets are off. And by "all bets are off," we mean he'll fulfill the premise of the podcast by putting our host in a hypothetical pine box through the miracle of imagination and improv. It's a real "Yes, and" situation. It's a podcasting day to get murdered and hopefully your ears don't get murdered by our sound issues on this one. Just accept our apology and enjoy the show!

    A Beautiful Flower of Resentment w/ Rachel Fisher

    A Beautiful Flower of Resentment w/ Rachel Fisher

    Won't You Be My Killer is back with its 17th installment and wouldn't you know it, it's another murderous day for a podcasting. This week, your friendly neighborhood victim and host, Evan Kessler, welcomes a member of his original LA crew, podcaster extraordinaire Rachel Fisher (Hollywood Crime Scene, Bitchslap) to the stabbing couch (it's like the casting couch but for murdering the host). Death is in the air, but before our host hypothetically exhales his final breath, there'll be discussion of "deep-seeded" beliefs about the phrase "deep-seated," the mystery of where the Hot Ones guy came from, and just how people make friends from a microblogging app. We've got gambling and spice and a murder plot worthy of a mid-budget thriller starring Ashley Judd. It's a podcasting day to get murdered, but you're safe as long as you listen to this latest episode.

    Hotel Ice Bath For Lady Liberty w/ Andrew Morton

    Hotel Ice Bath For Lady Liberty w/ Andrew Morton

    It's a murderous day for a podcasting. Who YOU gonna call for all your hypothetical murder podcast needs? "Won't You Be My Killer," of course. On episode 16 of the world's most dangerous podcast, your friendly neighborhood victim and host (Evan Kessler) ventures outside the comedy community to find the next would-be executioner on this weekly you-dunnit. Andrew Morton (StabGab Podcast) joins us from Brooklyn, via the magic of laptops and internet connections, to turn his friend of 20-plus years into a bloody mess. It's not all gore from the get-go as the two old dawgs discuss the nuances of assuming friendship compatibility, the best way for a nation to utilize its illusionists – and the groundbreaking compromise that brought peace to a brief period of trivia night turmoil. OR DID IT?!?! All it takes is one festering resentment to drive one man to murder and for another man to have a target on his back, but it takes a village to truly get away with it. By the end of the episode you'll probably be asking yourself, "would Evan get along with David Copperfield?" Or maybe you'll have some completely different questions. Either way, it's a podcasting day to get murdered.

    Naked With A Chainsaw w/ Kelly McInerney

    Naked With A Chainsaw w/ Kelly McInerney

    It's a murderous day for a podcasting, so, if you want to hear someone describe their plan to hypothetically do in the host of a podcast, well then you've come to the right place on the internet. Kelly McInerney (Comedy Bingo, Speakeasy Sketch, IMDweed) joins your friendly neighborhood host and victim (Evan Kessler) this week to indulge in her version of the ultimate deranged act of friendship. A huge horror movie fan herself, Kelly tells the pod about her favorite scary movie of all time, what she thinks makes for a good onscreen murder, and how she's trying to enhance her vocabulary while staving off brain rot. We've had pleasure cruises and days at the beach on previous episodes, but in this the 15th installment of "Won't You Be My Killer"," we're gonna get grisly with it, in a scene much too gruesome not to be flagged for removal by sensitive social media mods. It's a podcasting day to get murdered and you're about to be a witness.

    A Real Andy Kaufman Situation w/ Kevin Anderson

    A Real Andy Kaufman Situation w/ Kevin Anderson

    It's a murderous day for a podcasting and your friendly neighborhood host and victim, Evan Kessler, finally figures out the best way to describe the podcast. It's "the best hypothetical murder podcast around." Glad we got that out of the way. Joining Evan this week is the one of many, Kevin Anderson (Bleak in Review podcast, the Avatar 2 comedy show, Knights of the Rhyme Table), making his maiden appearance after being referenced as a "friend of the show" more than once on previous episodes. The decade-long friends discuss the whole point of existence, whether or not there's more than one guy with a Cybertruck in the San Fernando Valley, and what you should expect if any mascot comes to your front door. With all that lighthearted conversation out of the way, our guest finally gets to lay out his plans to take our host down for the dirt nap. When it's all said and done, someone or something will end up decaying like a struggling franchise and it's more than likely our host. What can we say, it's a podcasting day to get murdered, this episode and every episode on "Won't You Be My Killer?"
    Stay tuned until the end of the show to find out how you can contribute a hypothetical murder plan to an upcoming episode of the show!

    For Whom They Bomb Atolls w/ Leah Mansfield

    For Whom They Bomb Atolls w/ Leah Mansfield

    It’s a murderous day for a podcasting and, this week, we welcome Leah Mansfield to commit hypothetical murder lucky number 13. A comic, writer, and army vet with an utterly unique life experience, our guest is none too shy in discussing her competitive nature in traffic, a particularly painful and insightful experience opening for Tig Notaro, and which military rank is "the fun military rank." When all is said and done, there'll be precious little left of your friendly neighborhood victim/host. It may not be as lengthy as Oppenheimer, but this episode certainly has its fair share of bombs. It's a podcasting day to get murdered, but don't worry, you're safe.
