Podcasting since 2010, this is the world's longest-running Dexter podcast, devoted to the tv series Dexter, delving into the journey of Dexter Morgan, the serial killer hiding in plain sight as a police blood spatter expert in Miami and beyond. With episode commentary and plotline and character analysis, cast interviews, this is a perfect companion to the tv show.

Over the years, host Gareth has built up a large following and established connections with the people who make the show, including being invited to represent the fanbase on the official Showtime Dexter New Blood Wrap Up Podcast with Scott Reynolds. Gareth has interviewed many of the cast and crew and was honoured by having a character named after him in season 1 of Dexter Resurrection, played by David Dastmalchian. Gareth has visited the set in New York and looks forward to dissecting more Dexter with you as the show continues.
