THE RESIDENTS' RIVER OF CRIME is a character driven podcast series of 5 shows, based on the time honored concept of TRUE CRIME. Rooted in 1940's style radio drama, THE RIVER OF CRIME not only updates the original form with modern production values, but also heavily leans on a distinctive soundtrack as one of its primary dramatic devices.

was a bi-weekly fiction podcast written by and starring The Residents, released between June 13 and August 8, 2006 through Cordless Recordings.
Since the turn of the century, many individuals had experimented with the format of connecting RSS feeds with audio files. By February of 2004 these were officially dubbed Podcasts and were beginning to rise in popularity. The Residents, not being ones to miss out on new technology, began developing their own podcast titled The BOGcast wherein Residential intern Sparky would be tasked with interviewing many figures involved in The Residents' career. The BOGcast lasted from August 2005 to April 2006.
At that same time, fiction podcasts were growing in popularity too, and The Residents saw an opportunity to experiment in that area. Concurrently with their Tweedles! album, the group began to craft a five episode series based around a narrator retelling his obsession with, and various encounters with crime. After the group wrote the episode scripts, they, along with Nolan Cook and Carla Fabrizio, began working on the soundtrack for the project.
The project was inspired by, and somewhat based on, a demo album they had constructed before production of Tweedles began, titled Music To Eat Bricks By.
In typical Residents fashion, the cast and musicians on the release remained anonymous, until five years later when their names were revealed on The Residents' website, making this Gerri Lawlor's first appearance on a Residents release.
Promotional Version
Some time before the official debut of the series, Cordless Recordings distrusted an abridged album version of the podcast, containing the first two episodes and lasting 32:04.

Freelance music reviewer Mark Prindle described The River of Crime! as "something clever", recognizing that "although ostensibly about criminal acts, each episode ultimately focuses on the torturous human emotions caused by the loss of a loved one -- a father, a daughter, a lover, a friend, a niece. [...] While the narrator (as a child) is absolutely obsessed with all the awesome serial killers and child murderers he reads about, each episode demonstrates that an act of human evil is a hell of a lot less cool (and more painful) when it actually happens to you."

In a collaboration between The Residents and New York's Museum of Modern Arts (MoMA), an Internet video competition based on River of Crime was held between August 15 and September 15 of 2006. During that period of time, a 90-seconds excerpt of the first episode of the podcast, "The Kid Who Collected Crimes!", was available for download on Residents.com. The contestants had to make a video using said audio clip, and submit it online. The jury, composed by The Residents and MoMA's curator Barbara London, picked a shortlist of 30 videos, which were posted online on October 1.
The definitive selections where made on October 19, taking into consideration the popularity on YouTube of each video, as well as the jury's opinion. The winners were posted on MoMA's webpage, and screened during The Residents: Re-Viewed, an exhibition based on the band held in the museum between October 19 and 22 of 2006.
