NEW HAMPSHIRE - With Toby Ball settling into an interim residence in Valencia, Spain, Crime Writers On called on an old friend to fill in for their "captain of all things cynical." Ronald Young Jr returned with spicy hot takes on his reviews. Young is the host behind the acclaimed podcast "Weight for It," which was awarded a historic three Podcast Academy Awards in 2024 including Best Society and Culture Podcast, Best Indie Podcast, and Best Indie Podcast Host, and another in 2025 for Best Podcast Host. Young has been a favorite guest on "These Are Their Stories," the Crime Writers On spinoff reviewing Law & Order SVU episodes. His infectious laugh has filled episodes covering various SVU plotlines, including the Central Park Slenderman knock-off.
