Karen Kilgariff
Since 2016, Karen Kilgariff with Georgia Hardstark, has hosted ITunes' number one rated comedy podcast, "My Favorite Murder." The witty women share tales of mayhem and madness with their self-styled "Murderinos," as well as encouraging everyone to share their "Home Town Murders." They have proven that there is no place in the world that is untouched by foul play, machinations, methodically planned and crimes of passion. May they "Stay Sexy" for as long as they can!
