Here's a little preview of what we’re making over on Criminal Plus! We’re having a lot of fun making these bonus episodes. In each one, Criminal co-creator Lauren Spohrer and I take your questions and talk about what’s happening behind the scenes – and anything else that comes up. Recently we’ve talked about the only time I’ve ever stopped an interview, unusual gift ideas, Lauren’s love of sheet cakes, how to fall asleep, and some unwelcome guests in my studio.

So for the past four months, since June, the studio that we usually use at WUNC in Chapel Hill, where we have been recording the show for ten years, is being renovated.
And so I haven't been at WUnc.
I've been in a studio that I basically made off the side of my garage and converted this room, which has worked really well.
I think it worked better than any of us thought it was going to work until about two weeks ago.
And two weeks ago, I would say something biblical started happening in this room.
And it started out.
I just thought, what is that?
And I didn't really know what was happening.
But then people who were in Zoom meetings with me, or I'd be with someone and we'd be doing an interview, and they'd kind of chat to me, Phoebe, what is.
I'm hearing a chirp.
And I said, oh, I don't know.
It's just outside.
And they said, okay.
And it really escalated.
That was a little bit of one of our recent bonus episodes, what you get when you subscribe to criminal.
Plus, were having a lot of fun making these, and we thought you might like to hear what they sound like.
Recently, weve talked about the only time ive ever stopped an interview, unusual gift ideas, Laurens love of sheet cakes, how to fall asleep.
And as you just heard, a recent problem in my studio.
Heres more you could not have helped telling me.
