From The Podcast Hour, 12:15 pm on 1 September 2018

Criminal is a weekly podcast that relates the true stories of people who have "done wrong, been wronged, or got caught somewhere in the middle".

For example, one recent episode called The Job features the powerful story of a man who has to teach himself how to execute people when the state of Oregon reintroduces the death penalty. 

Another episode, The Chase – is a more light-hearted story about a man who's been ejected from just about every sporting event in the world for streaking. 

In it, Criminal's aptly named host and co-creator Phoebe Judge interviews him and explores his story.

If you're new to the podcast, the Criminal team recommend listening to the following four episodes first: I’m About To Save Your Life, Dropping Like Flies, He’s Neutral and Call Your Mom.
