Ep. 33 Columbo: The Helter Skelter Murders

On this episode of The Pink Smoke podcast, hosts John Cribbs &
Christopher Funderburg cover a fictionalized take on the Manson
Family, a beautiful actress caught in a web of violence & the
seedy side of Hollywood. That’s right: we’re going deep on Columbo:
The Helter Skelter Murders. This continuation novel from 1994 by
author William Harrington surprisingly manages to eschew total
tastelessness and even guides the hosts from Columbo novices into
budding super-fans. Get reeled in by the illiterate slogans
scribbled in blood on the walls of a fabulous mansion, stay for the
goofy limericks & descriptions of bowls of chili.
