TOM HOWE + RICK MOFINA

Author: Richard Crouse April 19, 2026 Duration: 38:39
On the Saturday April 18, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet USA TODAY, Globe and Mail, and Toronto Star bestselling author Rick Mofina. He’s the author of more than thirty crime fiction thrillers that have been published in nearly thirty countries. A former journalist, he has interviewed murderers on death row, flown over Los Angeles with the LAPD and patrolled with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police near the Arctic. He is a two-time winner of the Crime Writers of Canada Award of Excellence, and a multiple finalist for the International Thriller Writers Awards and the Shamus Award, presented by the Private Eye Writers of America. Library Journal calls him "one of the best thriller writers in the business." His latest novel, “One Second Away” is a high-octane global thriller that begins with a parent’s desperate search and rapidly escalates into an international investigation involving the FBI, uncovering a far-reaching web of secrets and lies. Set across multiple cities, the story delivers relentless suspense while exploring the emotional fallout of life-altering decisions made in an instant. Then, we’ll meet Tom Howe, the British-born (now LA-based) film and TV composer known for his versatile work across dramatic scores, animations, documentaries, and feel-good series. He's scored over 100 projects, including major highlights like Ted Lasso, Shrinking, The Great British Bake Off and many more. We talk music and Ted Lasso with Tom.

The address for House of Crouse is a flexible one, existing more as a state of mind curated by host Richard Crouse than a physical location. This podcast builds a welcoming, conversational space where compelling figures from the worlds of television and film feel comfortable enough to settle in and share stories you might not hear elsewhere. The tone is less of a formal interview and more like an engaging chat between friends, where the focus is on the person behind the public profile. Each Monday, a new episode arrives, featuring a relaxed and in-depth dialogue with guests like Amy Schumer, Josh Gad, or Daniel Radcliffe, among many others. Listening feels like pulling up a chair in a room where the conversation is always genuine, often surprising, and deeply connected to the craft and culture of screen storytelling. It’s an opportunity to hear familiar voices in an unfamiliar way, exploring the experiences and ideas that shape the entertainment we watch. Richard Crouse facilitates these discussions with a knowledgeable ease, ensuring every visit to this particular house is time well spent for anyone curious about the people who make our favorite shows and movies. The result is a consistently interesting audio experience that prioritizes substance and personality, making it a standout listen in the vast landscape of film and TV podcasts.
