A Podcast About Columbo
Staying in the 90s, with season ten’s “Rest in Peace, Mrs. Columbo,” which the title kind of gives away, in terms of the big story at its core. Along for the ride will be Stevie VanBronkhorst (@spoolses). This one’s only on the DVDs or the occasional TV broadcast, so keep those eyes peeled.

In the later episode, “Columbo Goes to College,” Columbo goes to a college. There you go.
Wait, no, there’s more- while Columbo’s at the college, guest lecturing before a criminology course, the professor is murdered. Thankfully for justice, the Lieutenant was the one who drew the short straw to be there that night and get the case. Not so thankfully for the two rich frat guys who engineered the murder (Via a gun under the hood of a monster truck?), the Lieutenant was the one who drew the short straw to be there that night and get the case. Also, Robert Culp is sort of in this, but he doesn’t murder anyone, so that’s a bit of a wash. This was not an easy episode. Comedian Richard Massara returns to talk about the whole thing, along with murder cars, buckets of cocaine, and lots of imagined backstory.

Next up is season ten’s “Columbo Goes to College,” in which the Lieutenant is asked to be the guest lecturer for a criminology course. When the professor winds up murdered before the class is through, it seems the kids are going to get some first-hand education in homicide. Joining in the discussion will be returning guest Richard Massara. The episode is available on DVD.
