About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.

“I’m sorry, the government you have elected is inoperative”
This week the truecrimers looked at political corruption and crime. It’s a bit of a gray area sometimes, because things that are unethical aren’t always illegal. But as the saying goes, abuse of power comes as no surprise. “Politician,” a … Continue reading
Nat Turner special
I thought I’d try to do a Nat Turner special on Crime Time Radio. I remembered hearing his in some lyrics – I thought maybe Public Enemy, but I couldn’t remember which song. A quick Google brought up a whole … Continue reading
Wiseguys
I was listening to Bob Dylan’s 1976 album Desire, because I thought I’d use “Hurricane” in one of these shows. The flip side has a song about the life and death of an NYC mobster, which inspired this episode. Today … Continue reading
Yo ho ho and a bottle of…

Sin after sin
I’ve been doing a series of shows for ds106radio called Crime Time Radio. It’s not really part of the True Crime class, just something for my own amusement to fulfill my secret desire to be a DJ. The crime theme … Continue reading

TV on the radio on the web
This week’s Crime Time started out, as always, with our Gila Copter theme from the Revolting Cocks. Alert listener @onepercentyello pointed out that the main voice on the track belongs to Timothy Leary. I should have known that, but I … Continue reading
