Christopher and Eric continue to honor Pride Month with an installment of Christopher and Eric's True Crime TV Club that takes us back to a time when getting thrown out of the military wasn’t the worst thing gay people had to worry about.

"Gay panic"! It's not just when Eric finds out he can't watch the Oscars live. It's the offensive and ridiculous notion that implying someone might be gay is so terrible that person is justified in doing all manner of awful things in response. Christopher and Eric  vent a little gay rage on this hideous and hypocritical concept in this, their second episode observing Pride Month. Their impassioned...

It's a real-life story that reads like one of Christopher and Eric's novels, a tale of double lives, secret sexuality, crimes of passion and betrayal. In this installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, Christopher and Eric return to one of their favorite true-crime TV series.

As they approach thirty episodes, Christopher and Eric take a deep dive on why true crime captivates us all, and which installments of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club so far have haunted them most. Don't worry. It's not like those episodes of "The Golden Girls" where they'd just eat cheesecake and play scenes from old episodes. A clip show, this 'aint. Rather, it's a probing discussion of...

As with every installment of Ask Eric, Eric and Christopher weigh in, but it's your wonderful responses on The Dinner Party Show's Facebook page that...

It happens every few episodes. Just when Christopher and Eric announce that their True Crime TV Club has served up the most disturbing crime imaginable, they somehow manage to top it, this time with the breathtakingly diabolical deeds of British serial killer couple Fred and Rosemary West. (MURDERERS AND THEIR MOTHERS. Season 1, Ep. 2) There's evil, and then there's Fred and Rosemary West evil. Ho...

If you want to treat yourself to some of what Christopher calls "the ass-kicking advice" of his co-host Eric Shaw Quinn, you can always send him your questions at eric@thedinnerpartyshow.com, or post on the social media page for The Dinner Party Show. This week, your hosts get personal and helpful on the topics of working from home (which they do even when there isn't a pandemic) and the more phil...

When Eric first came up with the idea for Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, he proposed Wives With Knives as a potential show he and Christopher could break down and serve up for their listeners in steaming hot slices. The big day has arrived! Christopher and Eric are finally serving up an episode of the aforementioned crap - I mean, crime-fest, this one entitled "Mama's Little Princess." (...

It's the trashy true crime sensation that's sweeping the sheltering-at-home nation, and naturally Christopher and Eric have a growling desire to go on and on and on about it. And as always, they're not saying the same ol' things everybody else is saying. Especially Eric. Is Carole Baskin a trumped up cyberbully as well as a possible husband murderer? Was Joe Exotic set up by his own ego or his ter...

Is this the most disturbing installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club yet?! If not, it's pretty damn close. When Christopher and Eric serve up this episode of the Discovery ID series "Passport to Murder", the toxic brew includes a Spring Break vacation into hell and a murder so gruesome they struggle to get through its details. Was it drug fueled insanity or a  deep belief in Satan th...

Got a question that's keeping you up at night? Ask Eric. He pulls no punches and he takes no prisoners. He delivers the truth unvarnished, and his guidance can deliver the perspective shift you and your neuroses so desperately need. He's fifty percent of 'TDPS presents Christopher & Eric', and he also keeps the other fifty percent from losing his ever-loving mind. Now you too can take advantage of...

A doomed, disturbing, international and highly inappropriate teenage love affair. A murder-for-hire plot that circles the globe and the dark web.

It's the first time Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club has served up an episode of "48 Hours", and before they're through the first course, your hosts find themselves choking on a quest...

Did Christopher actually go on a beach vacation with Gianni Versace's killer?! Is that why the FBI stormed Anne Rice's Garden District mansion in 1999? Eric won't stop until they've served up every detail of this way-too-close-to-home edition of True Crime TV Club. Only without the TV. Plus a whole lot of sarongs. And green Lexuses. (Lexi?) And, of course, gay dance parties. Together, Christopher...

Mountains of cocaine and a sex-party filled seventy room mansion in the Hamptons are just two of the spicy ingredients in this installment of Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, a sordid stew of drug-fueled conspiracies and ambitions run amok in 1980's Hollywood. When wildly successful theater producer Roy Raydin tries to make a name for himself in the City of Angels, he crosses paths with a...

Your hosts thought it would be a frothy and fun conversation about the fact that their birthdays are only days apart, but this special birthday episode turned into a probing and revelatory discussion of aging, self-esteem and defining your values in a youth-obsessed world. Also, you’ll want to listen closely for the moment when Christopher really pissed Eric off. Also, they barely talk about dieti...

True Crime TV Club gets exclusive as we rummage through the closets of Brooke Astor,  the toast of Manhattan.

You are cordial...

It's awards season in Hollywood, so Christopher and Eric are diving into the deep end of the glittering swimming pool as they talk more about the meaning of the season (or lack thereof) than the nominees. Is it really "best picture"?  What's the difference between popularity and success? When the emperor has no clothes, should you whack him with a mink stole or hand him a gold statuette? What? You...

True Crime TV Club is back. This time Christopher and Eric take you on a steamy tour of 1970’s Hollywood and a torrid sex scandal that came close to consuming the Reagan White House.

The result was a secret, decade-long affair that would ultimately consume socialites and politicos be...
