My Second Self and I: We Talk About Weird Crimes
My Second Self and I is the unique comedy/true crime show where one of the hosts is just a disembodied voice! Join Matt and his Co-host Alex (the voice in his head) as they take you through a weird, wacky, wild, or otherwise unbelievable true crime story! The research is all real, the jokes come fast, and you never know what Alex might have to say....does your brain always say what you want it to say?
Why should you listen to me?
Because I'm unique! I tell true crime stories in such a way that you don't leave the show feeling gritty or disturbed. If that sounds odd let me elaborate: The crime part of the story usually isn't the funny part, I get that. It's how I tell you the story that makes the difference!
Why did I launch a pod?
I want to contribute to society in a positive way. I love to learn new things and talk. This is a way for me to do both of those things, while hopefully helping someone get through their day. I believe knowledge is an important and critical tool for navigating the world today. You never know which piece of information will resonate with you, and I'm full of information!
If you've made it this far maybe you'd be willing to go a little further and help me out by telling your friends about this show!?
