Martinis And The Macabre

Think of one of the most boring U.S. government jobs you could have and you might think of working for the United States Postal Service. Taking customers' money and putting a stamp on their package. Sorting addresses between countries, states, cities, and zip codes. Driving, or even worse-walking, from mailbox to mailbox to mailbox. But there's always the exciting risk of papercuts, anthrax-laced envelopes, and getting shot! Who wouldn't want this dream job? This week Erica and Billy will dive into the beginning of a wave of workplace violence that started in the 80's and had it's own slang term by the 90's. There will be confession, a ham radio, a bike, and murder...lots and lots of murder. And there will be a grisly short story at the end of the episode, so be sure to stay tuned! A HUGE THANK YOU TO AMELIA! She felt inspired by Billy "Snugglebunny" Jones, and wrote a wickedly good short story about his dark beginnings. She was then kind enough to read and record it and send us the audio to use on the show!
