Celebrity Memoir Book Club
“CMBC,” hosted by Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton is a podcast that reads a celebrity memoir once a week and discusses its contents. The book club reads excerpts from the pages and reads between the lines to provide their own opinions on the book.

Listeners get extensive context behind the events and learn knowledge that may be useful in a U.S. history course.

Cookies and Crime
Based off the viral TikTok series, “Cookies and Crime by Karen Thi,” this is a podcast for all things true crime and delicious cookies. The idea for the podcast originated off TikTok when Thi’s cookie decorating account, Bakersmann Cookies, went viral when she decorated a cookie with a true crime story voice-over. She then took the series to podcasting where she reviews a true crime or paranormal story and eats a cookie. Thi provides bi-weekly episodes where she adds her opinions and commentary to the crimes to give her podcast a unique point of view from other true crime podcasts.
