About the Hosts
Alex
Co-Host, Digital Art Designer
Alex is a half-Indian, full-horror-fanatic, with a somewhat “gallows” sense of humor and a questionable moral compass! She is looking to fill the masala spaces in her soul with the Desi umami chaat of crime and the pursuit of justice.
After having spent a good part of the last decade filling the background of her life with true crime podcasts. Alex was gung ho to play the part of the somewhat-but-not-entirely-desi sounding board for stories of demented and macabre happenings from South Asia & so she is now baked into the DNA of Crimes from the East!
Pia
Creator, Producer, Host
A software Dev for more than a decade, Pia has had a blast diversifying & creating this podcast from scratch. Born & brought up in India, she has travelled all over the world before settling in the US of A which she now calls home.
She is a Superfan of sci-fi movies and all kinds of action adventure video games - Top 3 being Assassins' Creed, Horizon Zero Dawn & Uncharted. Pia loves exploring the unknowns in our Universe & beyond, facts, hard science & the woo woo stuff..it's all immensely fascinating to her.
PS: She has NO fav serial killers because they are monsters who should never be revered in any way.
