Send us Fan Mail I thought this would be a quick snapshot, but it turns into something heavier and more honest. A new job has me traveling back to Alaska, the place I was born and raised, and it’s strange how time changes the story. When I left, I couldn’t wait to be gone. Now I’m back four or five times a year, and every trip makes me love the state more. Coming home doesn’t just bring scenery an...

Send us Fan Mail After 160 weekly releases and two full seasons, I’m making a choice that’s easy to judge from the outside and hard to do from the mic: I’m taking a short break. I walk you through what’s behind that decision, from the pressure of never missing a week to the reality that constant vulnerability can start to feel repetitive when you’re forcing yourself to perform your own story on de...

Send us Fan Mail Two years ago, I hit record because I didn’t know what else to do with the pain. I was coming out of law enforcement against my will, carrying the weight of homicide and child abuse work, and trying to make sense of a nervous system stuck in survival mode. This anniversary is me pulling the curtain back and telling you what changed, what didn’t, and why this podcast became a lifel...

Send us Fan Mail What would change if you could sit down with your 25-year-old self and tell the truth before the bills, the burnout, and the busy years take over? I’m Aaron, and this solo conversation is a straight, personal look at the lessons I learned the hard way while building a demanding career, raising three kids, and realizing I wasn’t always emotionally present in my own home. It’s refle...

Send us Fan Mail A barking dog call is never just a barking dog call. That single idea explains why so many cops struggle to relax, sleep, or truly feel present at home, even when the uniform comes off. From the first moments of the show, we share a personal checkpoint: taking a real vacation after leaving law enforcement and realizing decompression does not have to take weeks when your nervous sy...

Send us Fan Mail A single local headline can light up the internet like a flare, and suddenly everyone is a detective, a trainer, and a judge. From a vacation in Mexico, we watch that exact dynamic unfold after breaking news reports an off-duty deputy in Vancouver, Washington shoots an aggressive dog. The story is simple, but the comment section is not, and the gap between real-world threat assess...

Send us Fan Mail I’m recording from the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya, Mexico, looking out at the ocean and thinking about how weird life is. Murders to Music usually leans hard into the “murders” side, but today I pull the camera back to the other half of the name and tell the story I’ve somehow never told out loud: how drumming became the thread that kept me anchored when life got dark, and ho...

Send us Fan Mail Three sharp bangs, a violent shudder, and a keel that sounds like a tree snapping across a giant’s knee. That’s how Douglas remembers the moment killer whales hit his family’s wooden yacht in the Pacific Ocean and turned a round-the-world dream into a survival crisis with no SOS, no shipping lanes, and only days of water. We trace the story from a remote English hill farm to buyin...

Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind in a room full of people who “get it,” this conversation hits close. We sit down with Ryan McDonald, a pastor in the Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon area, who grew up with serious reading struggles and dyslexia, carried crushing shame, and learned to hide it so well that even friends didn’t know. He takes us back to the mom...

Send us Fan Mail You can feel it when your podcast is due for a refresh, even if nothing is technically broken. After 145 episodes opening Murders to Music the same way, I get curious: what happens if I let AI rewrite my intro and I actually perform the options out loud? The result is part experiment, part creative gut check, and a surprisingly useful look at what “brand voice” really means in aud...

Send us Fan Mail A car crash at 19 leaves Victoria with a high spinal cord injury, and the life she planned disappears in an instant. Years later, a hemorrhagic stroke at the base of her brainstem nearly takes her again. What follows is not a highlight reel. It’s a clear-eyed story of trauma, identity loss, and the gritty, daily decisions that make recovery and resilience possible. We talk through...

Send us Fan Mail A single phone call can erase a career, even after two decades of service. That’s the gut punch David, a British Army veteran from Scotland, describes when a medical board tells him to stop working immediately and begin resettlement. Add unresolved trauma, chronic injuries, and the pressure of pandemic support work tied to the NHS, and you get a story that hits every nerve in vete...

Send us Fan Mail We share a short snapshot built around David Jarvis, a former British soldier who turns a medical discharge, PTSD and a type 1 diabetes diagnosis into a new mission. His Scottish Parliament speech lands one clear lesson: when challenges keep stacking up, your goal has to be big enough to hold your focus. • David Jarvis’s background and why his story matters • A medical discharge a...

Send us Fan Mail He thought he was just chasing recovery through sport, then his body started failing in a way he couldn’t explain. Our guest, British Army veteran and Invictus Games gold medalist David Jarvis, walks us through the moment fatigue, thirst, rapid weight loss, and a shocking drop in cycling performance turned into a diagnosis that nearly killed him: diabetic ketoacidosis and type 1 d...

Send us Fan Mail I had a Turning Point series plan that looked perfect on paper: bring on a married couple, go straight at the hard parts, then spotlight the moment they rebuilt their relationship. Then reality hit. Finding people who can be truly open, honest, and vulnerable on a mic, without turning their pain into bragging or content, is harder than it sounds, and I refuse to fake it just to pu...

Send us Fan Mail One injury can take the job, but the quiet afterward can take your sense of self. Aaron sits down with Tommy, a career law enforcement officer and 9/11 first responder, to unpack what it really feels like when your tribe disappears and you’re left on an island with your own thoughts, your pain, and a life that no longer recognizes you. Tommy traces his path from a first generation...

Send us Fan Mail What if the measure of success isn’t the sale but the person across the table? We open up about a hard pivot from product-first tactics to people-first presence, sharing how a therapist’s straight talk, a return to Alaska’s handshake culture, and three powerful encounters reoriented our work and our lives. First, we relive our son’s 0% survival odds and months in a Portland NICU—a...

Send us Fan Mail When your inner fire alarm never shuts off, life shrinks to surviving the next minute. Aaron opens up about years of hypervigilance as a homicide detective, how his brain flattened during crises, and why the words fight, flight, and freeze finally gave shape to what he felt inside. This is a plainspoken, unflinching look at PTSD, denial, and the moment a doctor’s blunt truth force...

Send us Fan Mail The story changes the moment you decide it will. We’re kicking off a focused journey into that split second—the hinge where pain stops leading and purpose steps forward—with the Turning Point series, a 10-part run designed to help you pinpoint the exact moment your life began to shift. Instead of mining trauma for drama, we zero in on clarity: the scene, the words, the belief that...

Send us Fan Mail A five-year countdown can warp every choice you make—until the clock itself is wrong. We sit down with Dwayne to unpack an 18.5-year odyssey that began with a rare blood cancer diagnosis, detoured through a near-death police shootout, and ended with a stunning reframe: a seventh doctor identifying severe sleep apnea instead. What follows is a raw, moving story about wasted potenti...

Send us Fan Mail Some days the sound of a car in the driveway brings relief. Other days it spikes your pulse. We go straight into the messy middle of long-term commitment—how early bliss turns into friction, why quitting can look smarter than staying, and what it really takes to hold a marriage together when the feelings are thin. With stories from 27 years together, we talk about the moments we w...
