Only Murders in the Building Podcast

Only Murders in the Pod is your companion fan podcast to the hit Hulu show, Only Murders in the Building. For the shows first episode, "True Crime," hosts Elizabeth Keener and Kevin Lawn are talking with showrunner John Hoffman about the writers room, working with the actors and his team, how to craft the perfect mystery, and how true crime podcasts came into the mix as a recent idea. Plus, each episode guests will be offering up a clue as we work to put this puzzle together and John's is a juicy one. Elizabeth and Kk are also asking you to join in on their game, placing each week into an envelope who YOU think the killer might be.

The game is afoot. And just who is Tim Kono? Elizabeth and Kk are talking with episode 2 writer Kirker Butler about introducing the cast of suspects at the Arconia and his questionable motives when it comes to Evelyn the cat. Then, they talk to actor Julian Cihi, Tim Kono himself, about how he was able to bring his authenticity to the role, working with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, and why he's calling in from a hotel in...Japan? Plus, clues abound. Kirker spills the beans on a special actor debuting next episode, the legendary Nathan Lane. And...who is in Keener and KK's envelopes this week?

Elizabeth and KK start with a quick "What do we know now?!" Then we dive into an incredible interview with writer, Kristin Newman (That 70s Show, The Muppets, Galavant) and actress Amy Ryan (The Office, The Wire). What does a writers room look like in a pandemic? What were the shooting conditions? PLUS we learn about the wild world of bassooners AND our dynamic duo gets a few clues to help move us along.

Once again, a quick recap of what we know as of episode five, "Twist." Then, writer Thembi Banks (Insecure, Brooklyn Nine Nine) reveals to our hosts whether or not they caught said "twist." Plus, how much of the car scenes were scripted vs improvised? And a very thought-provoking clue.

The plot thickens. Keener and Kk are talking with Madeleine George and Kim Rosenstock, the writers of episode 6 "To Protect and Serve." They discuss the pivotal role this episode plays in tying together so many already established elements while still keeping the humor at the forefront. What it was like working with Steve and Marty, the reveal of Mabel's secrets and life, their work as playwrights, and their working together between New York and LA. PLUS. FAN MAIL.
