Some stories don’t demand attention.
They wait for it.

This week on Nerdery & Murdery, Zig takes the Nerd seat with a deep dive into three iconic albums by Queen, exploring the evolution, ambition, and lasting impact of one of the most influential bands in music history.

Then we turn to the Murdery.

As our A–Z journey across America’s serial killers continues, we arrive in California with a case defined not by chaos, but by silence.
For decades, women were dying in South Los Angeles while the system failed to recognize a pattern hiding in plain sight.

This episode examines Lonnie David Franklin Jr., known as the Grim Sleeper, through the lens of neglect, delayed recognition, and the devastating cost of assuming certain lives don’t require urgency.

This isn’t a story about fear.
It’s a story about attention…and what happens when it arrives too late.

Tonight, we’re doing something a little different.

Instead of our usual format, Geoffrey flips the script and puts Zig in the hot seat for a special Nerdery episode.

With the release of his book, Firesign: An Elvish War Chronicle, Zig walks us through the origins of the story, the world behind it, and what it took to bring it to life. From inspiration and worldbuilding to the highs and lows of actually finishing a book, this is a deeper look at the creative side of something that’s been a long time coming.

If you’ve ever heard Zig go all-in on a topic… this is that energy, turned into an entire world.

A different kind of episode but one we think you’ll enjoy.

Some weeks are about discovery. Others are about reckoning.

In this episode of Nerdery & Murdery, Zig kicks things off in the Nerdery by stepping through the gate and into Stargate SG-1, exploring what made the series such a lasting cornerstone of science fiction television and why it still resonates with fans decades later.

Then, in the Murdery, we continue our A–Z journey across America’s serial killers with Arkansas.

This week’s case is Charles Ray Hatcher — a story not defined by spectacle or immediate fear, but by silence, hesitation, and missed connections. Over the course of years, multiple women died under circumstances that raised questions but failed to trigger urgency. It wasn’t until one woman survived that the pattern could no longer be ignored.

This episode isn’t about shock value.
It’s about recognition. About who gets seen, who gets overlooked, and how long it can take for truth to surface when cases are allowed to stand alone.

Two very different conversations.
One unforgettable episode.
