Dive into the dark underbelly of the City of Fountains, Kansas City, along with a splash from a killer cocktail on the new podcast,\xa0"Going to Killing City."\xa0Kansas City-based co-hosts Jamie Green and Alex Greenwood explore the most bizarre, unsettling, and truly odd historic murders that have transpired in the heart of the Midwest.

\u201cKansas City is renowned for its rich barbecue tradition, grandiose fountains, and vibrant jazz culture. But beneath the pleasant facade lies a wealth of chilling stories that have silently shaped the city's history,\u201d said Jamie Green, producer and co-host. \u201cWith 'Going to Killing City,' we aim to illuminate these oft-overlooked tales, exposing a side of Kansas City that will captivate listeners with elements of surprise and shock.\u201d

Recorded from the comfort of their home bars (\u2018The Green Room\u2019 and \u2018The Green Shebeen,\u2019 respectively), and paired with a killer cocktail recipe in each episode, Green and Greenwood offer a unique approach to the true crime genre. By blending humor with historical analysis, they aspire to not just entertain, but also to broaden listeners' understanding of Kansas City's mysterious past.

Each month, the co-hosts alternate roles, with one uncovering an intriguing KC crime story, while the other uses a brief clue to share a cocktail recipe that may\u2014or may not\u2014complement the secret crime story to be told. The first three episodes encompass narratives of gangland murders, a shocking serial killer, and a deadly, bizarre love triangle.

"History isn't just about memorizing dates and events," says co-host Greenwood. "It's about grasping people\u2019s actions and their consequences. We narrate the stories in a light-hearted way, not delving into every angle of each crime. While some elements might be unfamiliar to those not from Kansas City, we believe our approach makes history interesting.\u201d

Green added, \u201cWe have set a few ground rules. We do not cover murders that have happened within the past three decades, nor do we discuss any murders involving children.\u201d

While recognizing that murder is an unfortunate reality in Kansas City, as it is elsewhere in America, the duo is clear about their intent. \u201cWe distinguish between sharing a story with context and sensationalism. We\u2019re not glorifying violence or the ensuing grief. Instead, Jamie and I explore the peculiar circumstances of human behavior. Consider this an audio KC Crime Tour,\u201d Greenwood explained.

He specializes in economic development analysis, public policy research and analysis, grant writing, sustainability, and communications.
