(Complete shows are now available in a single mono file for faster downloading and easier storage.) Hosts Christopher Rice and Eric Shaw Quinn welcome famed prosecutor and critically acclaimed mystery novelist Marcia Clark. The result is a rousing discussion of Marcia’s new novel, KILLER AMBITION, and the latest headlines from the world of criminal justice (or lack thereof.) Relationship expert JoNell Samms has a direct response for a particularly irritating advice seeker, critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand is sick of waiting for his chance to interview novelist Anne Rice, and fairly imbalanced newsman Breck Artery interviews a “doctor” who wants us to know even more about our politician’s sex lives. The premiere of a brand new series entitled WORLD’S WORST WEDDING TOASTS!


[The wealthy] don't get it. They don't get that these laws actually apply to everybody equally. And you're not special, and you're not a sacred cow, and you actually have to show up in my office, and you have to obey your subpoena and all that. It's kind of a weird... They can't deal with it.MARCIA CLARK

Christopher Rice: Welcome back to The Dinner Party Show. I'm Christopher Rice.



Eric Shaw Quinn: And I'm Eric Shaw Quinn.



Christopher Rice: And no sooner had one of our party people, John Matson, asked us what Marcia Clark thought of the previous story we covered, then Marcia Clark arrived at our studio.



Eric Shaw Quinn: Welcome back, Marcia.



Marcia Clark: So happy to be here.



Eric Shaw Quinn: The princess of MSNBC. I'm so been enjoying your recent inclusion on every show I watch on NBC all the time.



Marcia Clark: You poor thing, can't get away from me.



Eric Shaw Quinn: No, I quite enjoyed it. I have to say, your commentary on Thursday, I think it was with...



Marcia Clark: With Lawrence O'Donnell?



Christopher Rice: Lawrence O'Donnell.



Eric Shaw Quinn: Who's the woman, who was the other author?



Marcia Clark: Linda Fairstein.



Christopher Rice: Linda Fairstein, another critically acclaimed mystery novelist.



Eric Shaw Quinn: They did a thing where they did, if you missed it, go back onto the MSNBC…After the show, of course, listen to the show first, but go to the MSNBC site and see if you can't find on the Lawrence O'Donnell show for Thursday. They did this thing where they played little excerpts from that insane final statement from Ariel Castro, and then you and Linda did commentary. It was electrifying. You were so insightful. Marcia was so insightful that Lawrence actually paused and said, "Wow, I hadn't actually thought of it that way, Marcia. That was really brilliant." It really was. It was brilliant. Your contribution on all of this, we've got a million questions we want to ask you about all of that.



Christopher Rice: So we want to talk to you about this case out of Baton Rouge.



Eric Shaw Quinn: Yes. But first, this seedy case from Baton Rouge. What do you think? You've had a minute to read the article.



Marcia Clark: Yeah. I mean, I just never read the first couple of pages. Like, what the hell are they doing? What are they doing? You can't agree to have sex in a public place? We're all like felons or something.



Eric Shaw Quinn: Like everybody in America is now in jail.



Marcia Clark: I know.



Eric Shaw Quinn: Everybody in Baton Rouge.



Christopher Rice: Yeah. I said if I agreed to have sex in a mall when children were present, and even though I was agreeing to have sex later at home with my partner, I would be guilty of a crime, and it's outrageous.



Marcia Clark: No, it's crazy. It's crazy.
