Frank Girardot is our new co-host on True Crime Uncensored. Burl's previous co-hosts, Don Woldman and Howard Lapides, both died suddenly, but the cause of their demise wasn't the radio show. Frank, in good health, is a brilliant author, journalist, victim advocate, and radio host. Girardot has won several writing awards, including the Southern California Press Association's award for Investigative Journalism 1995, the Los Angeles Press Club's First Place Award for sportswriting in 1998, and he was a finalist for the 2015 University of Florida Award for Investigative Data Journalism in 2015.[6] Girardot headed a project for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group titled "Getting Away with Murder." The effort chronicled 11,242 homicides that occurred in Los Angeles County between 2000 and 2010. Relying on data supplied by the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner the project found that less than 50 percent of all homicides that occurred countywide were ever solved.
Girardot is the author of true crime non-fiction books, including Name Dropper, which was cited by author Walter Kirn in his book Blood Will Out. He is co-author with Burl Barer of A Taste For Murder, Betrayal in Blue with Barer and Ken Eurell and Burned, the biography of serial arsonist John Orr. Burned was written with Orr's daughter Lori Orr Kovach. All, except Name Dropper, are published by Wild Blue Press.
Frank and Burl are both regular contributors to several true crime TV shows, including the new program KILLER SIBLINGS on Oxygen.
