A hybrid podcast featuring original crime fiction and film noir appreciations.

Every Tuesday, The Crime Is Up Podcast showcases the best in hard-boiled, criminal tales.

If your book shelves are lined with crime fiction from Jim Thompson, David Goodis, and Cornell Woolrich, then you’re going to like what we have in store.

Have a listen to our trailer:

 

It’s a hybrid podcast!

So in addition to the original crime fiction, each episode your hosts Chris and Will discuss a crime movie that fits in thematically with the story they present.

You get their hot takes on classic film noir like Night and the City, neo-noir a la Point Blank, and great contemporary noir in films like Blue Ruin.

And in super-sized comparison episodes, they take a book like Jim Thompson’s The Getaway and compare it to the two vastly different film adaptations of it.
