CRIMINAL was a mega-hit long before the genre of true-crime took off in podcasting. On this episode, Manoush and Jen talk to the show\'s co-creators,\\xa0Phoebe Judge\\xa0and\\xa0Lauren Spohrer, about quitting their stable public radio jobs to start a company (sound familiar?), managing each other\'s quirks, and saying \'no\' to the many business opportunities that come their way. This duo has great advice for anyone trying to manage a partnership, balance creativity with bill paying, or just stay to one\'s weirdo self.
