Shanna Shrum, Murder & Champagne

The Topic: Do you have a favorite murder? Life of the Pahty's Shanna Shrum and host Ana Marie drink champagne and talk murder, close calls and constantly planning how to not get murdered. Talking about the things that scare you can be so cathartic! Shout out to Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark of My Favorite Murder for awakening this juicy chat! 

The Guest: This is Shanna Shrum's second time on Champagne & Snark. She is comedian and creator of the web series Life of the Pahty. Her new spin off series, In Someone Else's Kitchen with Fuschia features the world's first Mediocre Sized Model in her own cooking show. It's my favorite!
