Deadly Ever After is a true crime parody podcast hosted by unhappily married couple Elizabeth and Harry recorded in their substandard home in Rochester, New York.
Elizabeth dreams of the podcast becoming an overnight success but Harry’s indifference to his wife’s delusional aspirations and for the true crime genre in general causes friction between the couple and they often end up fighting viciously on-air.
The information is real though the marriage, thankfully, is not. Join Harry and Elizabeth as they present the crimes and rationales behind some of this century’s most infamous murderers and family annihilators while intimate details of their personal lives spill into the conversation.
