When another victim seemingly commits suicide, it becomes clear that in the London night is a killer who knows.
The Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate. A few weeks later a body is found inside a willow tree on Hampstead Heath. This is a glimpse of their stories, their lives, and their moments leading up to the seconds before their deaths. On a fateful Valentines Day, the lives of eight people are tragically ended at the hands of a gunman. Have a listen and let me know if it resonates with you. On a rainy winter night outside a nightclub in London, four strangers meet for the first time at 4:00am. With Emma Joy Allen, Laura Castle, Stephanie Charles, Caleb Alexander Cohen. Shes also working on a book about nonalcoholic drinks. In this first episode of the show’s second season, I attempt to answer that. Julia Bainbridge is a James Beard-nominated writer and editor, and the creator of The Lonely Hour, a podcast about loneliness. Why am I doing this? What’s my stake in this podcast? Why am I on this journey? It’s a question that I get from people every time I describe the show to them, and it’s an obvious question to want to know the answer to when you’re talking to someone who has created a show called The Lonely Hour. I realize, looking back at season one, that there was a big question I didn’t answer. The format is changing-most episodes will run under fifteen minutes-and each discussion will be sharper and tighter (we hope!).įirst, though, a kind of intro episode. In my book, it's a good, if unspectacular, bit of Hitchcock.Season two of The Lonely Hour is alive! I’ve joined up with the team at The Listening Booth, home of Memory Motel and What’s Happening Here, and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store we’re going to discuss expat life, solitary confinement, fetishism, divorce, and much more.

Note a really unusual bit of casting-unless I missed something, there's not a single man appearing anywhere during the 60-minutes! It's all the fairer sex on screen-so guys, be sure to tune in.

Against the backdrop of a toxic political climate engendered by the 2016 presidential election, season one focuses on the ways we can better disagree with our friends, family, and community.
Since it's Hitchcock, we know there's a build-up to something, without knowing exactly who or what. Dig into the art of disagreement and the power of love with social scientist Arthur Brooks. Kelly never really acts like an emotional loony, while Rowlands generally suppresses her growing concern. Given the circumstances, both main actresses low-key it. Looks like Vera's up to something, but what. She even sneaks the baby out of the house while Louise is away. Vera takes a room in Louise's house, and things seem ordinary except for the unusual amount of attention Vera pays to Louise's baby son. Then again, maybe she's just a forlorn middle-age woman seeking consolation in another woman's (Rowland) baby. Loneliness is part of the human experience, says Julia Bainbridge, host of The Lonely Hour podcast. We know Vera's (Kelly) off-center, but how much of a menace is she. So if you’re feeling more lonely lately, you’re not the only one. Good slow-motion episode where suspense builds gradually over the hour.
