CrimeLess is a weekly comedy talk show exploring the wild crime questions you’d never act on—but secretly want answered. Comedian Rory Scovel and journalist–turned–true-crime podcaster Josh Dean break down a new outrageous caper each episode, from bold heists and absurd scams to crypto disasters and monkey-driven chaos. Their deep dives into the strange details and eccentric criminals spark hilarious, totally hypothetical brainstorms about how things could have gone even more off the rails.

You’ll learn just enough weird facts to sound interesting at a party. Picture How Stuff Works after a few drinks, or You’re Wrong About—but focused entirely on Florida-Man-level mayhem.

On this episode of Staying Alive, hosts Jon Gabrus and Adam Pally sit down with the excellent Elna Baker (This American Life, The Moth, Pretty Sure I Can Fly) to talk about cults, weight loss, her extensive therapeutic drug use, and, due to a clerical error, Alzheimer’s, despite no one here being an expert in it. Plus, you’ll hear Gabrus’ famous sandwich story, cut from This American Life, and the debut of Jim Jones In The Morning.
