Premeditated
Podcast Description
Etiquette has a new judge.Graham Cameron and Neil Zumwalde investigate improvised social lawbreaking in a moderately thrilling, low-stakes fictional true crime podcast. We weekly and boldly prosecute the most innocuous violations of social decorum in a world that’s both too polite for its own good, and too shamelessly chaotic to continue unpunished. In each episode, one of us brings a "case file", an unlegislated social law. We collectively create a scene in which this law is broken, leaving the other to react to the unfolding etiquette crime with shock, confusion, support, or judgment.Then we drop the act and deliberate on the correct legal consequences.The crime? Social faux pas that we all secretly fear. The trial? Ten to fifteen minutes of litigation. We bravely dig into these micro-crimes, cross-examine experts (ourselves), and debate whether these laws should be upheld, expanded, or struck from the record entirely.Tune in for untrue crime, biting social commentary, courtroom drama (minus the stakes and education), and the gratification of seeing manners put on trial. It’s a procedural where the crime is petty, but the crossexaminations are also petty.In a world teeming with rules you didn't even know existed, Premeditated is your court of last resort.

Our phone lines are lighting up!
No sorry, we can't lie to you. It's our duty as judges to tell the truth….we don't have phone lines. We have a G-Mail digital phone message system. But that is lighting up with voicemails from YOU!
We continue PART 2 of our SEASON 1 FINALE by tackling your pressing social questions and quandaries. We've donned our wigs and ensconced ourselves in velvet (nope sorry, lied again. It's polyester) and are ready to give America what it wants. The TRUTH.
This week's callers regale us with etiquette and faux pas like: opening the wine bottle you brought to someone else's house, refusing to engage in group texts, singing along to the radio and saying ”good morning” in the afternoon.
Tune in to hear our verdicts, and perhaps YOUR VOICE, on part 2 of our raucous Season 1 finale.
Hugs and kisses America. Thank you so much for listening to stuff we've spent a lot of time working on. Without you we're just two guys prattling away on a couch. We love you. Thank you.
Graham and Neil
