And Away We Go! with Georgia King • Episode 11 • Mar 5, 2025 • 48 min

Award winning singer, songwriter and actor Darren Criss is ready to drive us around his hometown of San Francisco on this very special bonus episode! Get ready to delight in the smell of eucalyptus trees, the sound of cable cars, and through the fog (named ‘Carl’) we’ll visit some of his favorite spots-- including a windy ferry trip to Alcatraz, dim sum in Chinatown and much much more!

Based on Wondery’s podcast of the same name, the show is created by Patrick Macmanus. Joshua Jackson, Christian Slater, Alec Baldwin, Grace Gummer, AnnaSophia Robb, and Kelsey Grammer star.

The two-disc Blu-ray set is presented in high definition with DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio. No special features are listed. The trailer can be viewed below.

Mayfield was left paralyzed from the neck down following a botched surgery performed in 2013. He was left vulnerable to other illnesses, including Covid-19, which claimed his life in Feb. 2021.

Ok, so fellow true crime fans- heads up, if you have any free time at all you can kiss it goodbye-

I have been finding so many compelling and surprising mysteries and murders on this app @crimedoor -

The coolest thing about the app is getting to use just your phone to “walk” around and investigate crime scenes- but! ——-

—-I think my favorite thing might be deep diving into incredible, heart-wrenching mysteries like this - Amy Betchel, who went missing off her of her Royal Caribbean cruise in the 90’s and was never seen again... maybe...

This Is Actually Happening

“The mind almost has to find a way to prove that it’s not real. This cannot be happening.”

Current podcasts, kind of a random selection:

1. The Dream - A journalistic deep dive into the exploitative snake oil filled worlds of multi level marketing and the wellness industry. My absolute favorite current podcast.

2. Buffering the Vampire Slayer - Two queer women podcasting Buffy episode by episode. Features cast interviews!

3. Reply All - A longtime favorite. A Gimlet show about the Internet. Can be serious and also silly. Personal favorite is the double episode about the host flying out to India to meet a scammer who sells ‘antivirus’ software.

4. Veronica Mars Investigations - Features the amazing Helen Zaltzman of the Allusionist and musician Jenny Owen Youngs covering Veroinca Mars episode by episode.

5. Nice Try! - A historical look at failed utopias.

6. What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law - Roman Mars and a law professor taking a look at all the illegal crap Trump does and investigating it from a constitutional law perspective. Scratches that itch of law nerd for me. For more of this type of thing, check out More Perfect podcast.

7. The Perfect Scam - I promise I’m not that old a lady despite listening to an AARP podcast. Learn about various kinds of scam and how to fight back against them. Bonus, Frank Abagnale (who the movie ‘Catch Me If You Can’ is about) is a cohost.

8. We Crashed - A short 6-part documentary series about the fall of We Work. Subject matter is wildly interesting.
