  • 150 • The Monster Butler
    Jan 2 2026

    Archibald Thomson Hall, eventually known as Roy Fontaine, changed his name to better suit the world of butlery—which was a touch odd… given that “Archibald” sounds far more like a butler’s name than “Roy.” Then again, making a mess of things was exactly what the “Monster Butler” was best at.

Jack Luna is one of the best true crime podcasters. Love his narration & way of detailing the crime. Yet with a touch of humour to save things getting as dark. I’m definitely one for this as a way of coping with the grim but interesting subject matter. If you like small town murder or last podcast on the left worth giving this a try.

Great podcast
