My wife has listened to roughly nine thousand hours of true crime podcasts while gardening, so this one is going on the calendar whether I like it or not. Dr. Scott Bonn, the criminology professor, is doing Serial Killers Live at A.J. Fletcher Opera Theater on Thursday October 1 at 7:30.

It is the lecture and case study format rather than a reenactment show, from what I can tell. Fletcher is small enough that you are not watching it on a screen, which is the appeal.

Also October 1 is apparently the busiest night in Raleigh this fall, since two other big things are happening downtown at the same time.
