Hi, Talina Zar listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Wisecrack! Wisecrack: Edd Hedges, the once chubby kid without many friends, is now a young, handsome, stand-up comedian, packing theaters from London to Sydney. After making a name for himself on the road as “The Millennial Mike Birbiglia,” Edd returns to his hometown village, Stansted Mountfitchet, UK, to headline a charity event after a four-year absence, giving him a few days to reconnect with his working-class family. What Edd didn’t know was that his schoolmate – a boy that had bullied him, making his adolescence years a living nightmare – had begun to unravel during the years Edd was building his career. The former star athlete was on a downward spiral, in and out of jail. The most popular kid in town was now the town milkman, and on that night, he would become the town murderer… with Edd still on his mind. This genre-bending event will weave in Edd's stand up set, recounting the scariest night of his life, and the deadliest night in his small village. “Wisecrack,” the world's first mash-up of true crime narrative and stand-up comedy, is one tough act to follow.

Introducing: Hands Tied
Hi, Talina Zar listeners! We're excited to share with you a sneak peek at iHeartPodcasts' latest release, Hands Tied! Hands Tied: Lizz Melgar Rose went from being interested in true crime to living true crime. Back in 2012, relatives found her mother Sandy Melgar shut in a closet, her hands bound behind her back. Her dad Jim Melgar had been murdered. There was no time to finish the university course Lizz had signed up for, inspired by her teenage fascination with violence and serial killers. She needed to figure out what happened. If it weren't for her strange interest, she believes she’d have been lost. It enabled her to protect her family and herself, and helped her try to fit the pieces of a seemingly unsolvable puzzle together. Award-winning journalist and host Maggie Robinson Katz will take you inside the police investigation that followed, inside the courtroom drama as a jury wrestles with who’s responsible for a truly shocking crime, and inside Lizz’s ongoing battle for answers and for justice. Because there is one thing Lizz is convinced of, the wrong person is in prison for her dad’s murder. Hands Tied is a new eight-part true crime podcast from iHeartPodcasts and BBC Studios Audio. Listen to Hands Tied on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
