This week, we're tackling another listener-suggested theme: crime. From Pablo Escobar's Columbia to the IRA's Belfast, from a white Bronco to the Silk Road, our picks are all about criminals doing their thing, and how it impacts the little guy.\\xa0

Also in this episode, Erin talks Geo Metro crime, Amy reveals her criminal syndicate motto, and we tell the story of the cop who got bit. \\xa0
