mfm, my favorite murder, ssdgm, unauthorized musical

Even in seeing just a staged live reading of My Favorite Murder: The Unauthorized Musical, we were really blown away with how cleverly wrought and expertly executed Dahlya Glick, Michael O’Konis, and Andrew Young’s musical tribute to one of the biggest podcasts around, the comedy true crime juggernaut My Favorite Murder. The mystery that Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark solve in the musical, the Elvis song, how Steven figures into the whole thing, and the range of songs are really worth catching live.

Even if you aren’t that familiar with the pod, the true crime comedy combo distilled into hysterical musical numbers are pretty damn satisfying.

So, we can only imagine how fun this initial run of the full scale production at the newly minted comedy variety venue Silver Park Arts will be like at the end of March, beginning of April. Get your tickets for $13 right now right here.

If you’ve ever wanted the origin stories of Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, hosts of one of the world’s favorite podcasts, My Favorite Murder, then take note that their dual memoir Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered is officially out now.

It’s a carefully curated collection of stories from both that offer insight how they became a cultural institution from simply hosting a weekly comedy true podcast. Of course, it’s written with their signature sassy, clever, and unapologetic voices and offers up a fun read (perhaps the book of the summer?).

Oh, the audiobook not only has Karen and Georgia, but the voice of Paul Giamatti as well.

Well, go get Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered already.

Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered has undoubtedly become one of the maxims to live by in these times thanks to the efforts of Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark and their great, hit comedy-true crime podcast My Favorite Murder.

Naturally, after touring all over the globe and starting their own podcast network, Karen and Georgia have moved on to writing a memoir titled with their aforementioned podcast sign-off, Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered, set for hardcover release on May 28th (pre-order here). They’ll essentially be sharing a book’s worth of “hometown murders” (i.e. life stories that have led a life of SSGDM) and we have no doubt that it’ll be some of their best tales.

Oh yeah, the audiobook will not only be read by them, but, as briefly mentioned in their latest episode, none other than Paul Giamatti joined Karen and Georgia in recording it.

So, with all of that said, go pre-order Stay Sexy & Don’t Get Murdered here if you haven’t done so already.

My Favorite Murder’s Podcast Network Exactly Right Launches Today

It was less than three years ago that Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark enjoyed each other’s company in recounting infamous murders and releasing it as a podcast known as My Favorite Murder.

Now, having toured the globe and created a gigantic self-sustaining community of murderinos, Karen and Georgia have launched their very own podcast network with a handful of podcasts. Comedy podcasts Do You Need a Ride? where Karen and Chris Fairbanks interview comedians while going to or coming from the airport and The Purrrcast where many comedians get to dish about their cats will be under the Exactly Right banner.

We’re sure this is only the tip of the iceberg for Exactly Right, so you might want to start following them.

One of the biggest podcasts around now, My Favorite Murder will be hopping all around the U.S. right as 2019 kicks off as you can see from tour schedule above. Please don’t miss Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark at a city near you from Jan.-May.

My Favorite Murder to Launch ‘Exactly Right’, Their Very Own Podcast Network, on Stitcher

My Favorite Murder to Launch ‘Exactly Right’, Their Very Own Podcast Network, on Stitcher

If you’re a long time listener or even just started to listen to My Favorite Murder, you might have some idea how big they’ve gotten merely by the fact that they’re now doing ad reads for Diet Coke.

Essentially, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark have amassed such a following with their true crime comedy podcast (in fact, they have more listeners than many TV shows have viewers) that they’ve been given the podcast equivalent of a lucrative overall deal at a studio or network in order to launch their own production banner, appropriately named after a frequent phrase said by Karen herself.

We personally can’t wait to see what Karen and Georgia decide to incubate and develop under Exactly Right. Perhaps, a show called “Corner Corner Corner”?

Fun fact, another podcast that somewhat recently launched their own podcast network off the back of their own success just so happened to be another true crime comedy podcast, Last Podcast on the Left (they launched the Last Podcast Network).

If you’ve been waiting for comedy folks to delve into true stories of murder or a further exploration of music sub genres that pretty much no one has ever heard before because of they’ve probably just been “discovered”, Feral Audio has two new podcasts for you.

With all the fascination with The Jinx, Making a Murderer, and Serial, you might be interested into diving into more true murder stories from the perspectives of the great Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark with My Favorite Murder.

Feral Audio has also got the trio behind Yacht Rock to “talk about music other than Yacht Rock” with Beyond Yacht Rock. We can only imagine how far down the arbitrary music genre rabbit hole they’ll go.
