Broadway Is My Beat Is My Beat: The Ben Justin Murder Case
This week on Night Water, we’ve got a special holiday treat: an episode of Broadway Is My Beat Is My Beat, the only recap podcast dedicated to the old-time radio detective show Broadway Is My Beat.
Joining me today is Drew Ackerman, the creator, writer, and host of the Sleep With Me podcast (http://www.sleepwithmepodcast.com/), the podcast that puts you to sleep. You may remember Drew from the Night Water crossover event (https://www.nightwater.email/p/late-night-vibes-sleep-with-me) on Sleep With Me earlier this year. We're taking a deep dive into "The Ben Justin Murder Case," originally broadcast on December 8, 1950.
We’ll be playing clips from “The Ben Justin Murder Case” during our discussion, but if you want to hear the entirety of the episode, you can listen to it on the episode page at Night Water (https://www.nightwater.email/p/broadway-is-my-beat-radio-recap) or on the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/OTRR_Broadway_Is_My_Beat_Singles/BIMB+50-12-08+(057)+The+Ben+Justin+Murder+Case.mp3).

Late night poetry vibes with Mary Boo Anderson
This week on Night Water, we’ve got a special treat: a late night poetry reading from my friend Mary Boo Anderson, an artist, writer, and teacher currently based in LA. A few weeks ago I saw Mary Boo doing a virtual Zoom poetry reading for Peach Mag (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g60qbBxiAQI) and I thought, we need that energy on Night Water. Consider it manifested!
Find out more about Mary Boo at her website (https://www.marybooanderson.com) and follow her on Twitter (http://twitter.com/whoismaryboo) and Instagram (http://instagram.com/whoismaryboo).
The three poems from tonight’s reading:
“Capitalism in the Form of Me Always Just About to Buy Some Pink Crocs as a Consolation Prize,” published in American Chordata, Issue #10 (https://americanchordata.org/issue/issue-ten)
“In IKEA at the End of the World,” published at Neutral Spaces (https://neutralspaces.co/magazine/two/anderson.html)
“Watching, Waiting, Commiserating,” published at Pom Pom (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbz41Qdr5eW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)

Patrick Infurna (https://twitter.com/pinfurna_), co-founder of the brand new men's soccer team Vermont Green Football Club (https://vermontgreenfc.com), joins Night Water for our inaugural audio edition.

Patrick has worked in soccer essentially his entire career, and in this interview, we learn all about Vermont Green FC, the landscape of American soccer, and Patrick’s ideal late night vibes.
