Extra long show this week.  We have true crime author Kelly Banaski with us. Kelly gives us a very frank and raw interview about her work researching killers on Death Row and some of her relationships with these people. She also gives us a look at her own real-life brushes with killers and talks about her blog the woman condemned. This is an interview unlike anything you have heard before. Buckle up! It's a wild ride!  

Kelly Banaski is a true crime writer, blogger and inmate liaison. She works to better the rate of recidivism by mentoring lifers and death row inmates. Her work has left her with strange friendships with some of the country’s most reviled inmates.
