True crime with taste. Caviar & Criminals is where dark stories meet high gloss — a true crime and pop culture podcast hosted by best friends Anthony Kurtz and Dana Parisi, who bring wit, glamour, and genuine heart to the cases everyone else gets wrong.
From cult leaders and con artists to reality TV scandals, financial fraud, and the icons we thought we knew, every episode is a deeply researched, narrative-driven story told with one rule above all: the victims come first. No cheap shots, no punchlines at the expense of the people who lived it — just rich storytelling, real documentary voices, and the kind of conversation you'd have with your smartest, pettiest friend.

SEASON 4 IS HERE! 🌙🚀
We’re kicking off Season 4 with a story that sounds completely made up—but somehow, it’s not.
This week, Anthony tells Dana the bizarre, unbelievable, and surprisingly high-stakes story of Thad Roberts, a NASA intern who decided that working at NASA wasn’t quite enough… so he stole a piece of the Moon.
Yes. The Moon.
From a NASA laboratory to a secret rendezvous with a lover, this is a story involving lunar samples, international intrigue, some truly questionable decision-making, and one of the strangest crimes you’ll ever hear about.
So grab your space helmet and get ready, because Season 4 is officially taking off. 🌙
And if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you could actually steal the Moon… well, Thad Roberts found out.

REVAMP: Lorena Bobbitt
Before we disappear for a little summer break, we're giving one of our favorite episodes a fresh cut. (Too soon?)
This week, we're re-releasing our unforgettable deep dive into the story of Lorena Bobbitt, as Dana walks Anthony through one of the most sensational, misunderstood, and endlessly talked-about true crime cases of the '90s. It's a story that's far more complicated than the headlines—and yes, we still have plenty to say about that night.
Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back for another listen, we hope you enjoy this revamped episode while we soak up a little summer.
We'll be back before you know it with Season 4—featuring brand-new stories, more outrageous history, shocking true crime, pop culture chaos, and all the laughs you've come to expect.
Have an amazing summer, and we'll see you soon.
