ABOUT
A True crime podcast…
about notorious criminals and their intriguing last meals…
In every new episode I tell a real death penalty true crime story and explore what got someone (believed by some) the worst punishment possible…DEATH. While I’m telling these criminals heinous stories, you can visually watch me cook that criminals last requested meal before they were executed. And at the end of every show I will sit down to try for myself what some of the worst criminals in history ate before their final hours. Each episode comes with a FREE unique recipe for that week’s last meal. You can find these recipes HERE. Well, I guess it’s time to meet me and find out how I got to this point in my life…
Colson Davis - The Host
Hello there, and welcome to my podcast, I am so grateful to have you here! My name is Colson and I am an amateur chef, true crime junkie, music producer, videographer/editor, content creator and my most humbling job… being a father. When I was 16, my twin daughters were born, premature and only weighted 1 and a half pounds. They’ve grown up completely healthy and me, my son and the girls are on this amazing journey into life. I’m now 22 years old and I’ve been running a couple small businesses and side hustles over the years. My primary business is called Coda King Productions LLC, a videography and production company specializing in business videography, video editing, podcast production and web design. I started this company back in 2018 as a music production company but in 2025, I have moved the company more towards helping local businesses with their social media and online business presence with professional video. I have honed my skills in audio and video editing alike and use these skills in my creative work every day. Well, that’s a bit of my background and where I am in life as of now. So, let me explain the initial spark idea for this podcast and how it cultivated.
The Podcast
Since I was young, I was always exposed to cooking. My mother is a great cook who has shown me around and helped me develop my skills in the kitchen. Meanwhile, my father owns a popular pizza shop called Mabel’s Pizza Shop in our small town of Clearfield and I’ve now been working there for almost 7 years. So, both of these exposures in cooking has led me to become an amateur chef and I continue to grow, learn and expose my children to the same ways of cooking that I was . My father and I both roll pizzas in our small shop for usually between 3-9 hours a day (depending on the days of the week). Well, as you can imagine it gets quite tedious to roll hundreds pizzas for hours and hours on end. Therefore, my father introduced me to true crime podcasts and especially one called “Small Town Murder” which we both listen to regularly every work week. I then ventured into the seemingly endless world of true crime stories and cases from around the world. Now where’s the idea for this podcast you’re probably asking still. Well, every time I would listen to these podcasts, there would be the occasional case where the criminal was sentenced to death. Before they get sent to the chair, the criminal gets to request a final last meal to eat before they are executed. These final meals ALWAYS fascinated me and it’s such an intriguing topic. Well, I hope by now you can connect the dots and see my love of cooking and true crime merge… and here we are. One day I mentioned this infant idea to my father, who was surprising shocked by the geniusness of the idea. I now have been on this journey of learning how to make this podcast a reality and I finally made it.
My Thoughts on the Death Penalty
Well, the short answer for if I’m for or against the death penalty is…I don’t know. It’s a touchy subject to jump into but I want to explain my personal opinions on capital punishment, mainly because my whole podcast is about death penalty cases. Now, I believe that there are some people that are 110% guilty such as a case with a full confession with no persuasion, accurate DNA/fingerprint evidence and surrounding circumstantial evidence. I believe that these types of people (who’s crimes are excruciatingly brutal and disgusting) deserve to be stoned in the streets for all I care. Now with the evolution of DNA evidence and accuracy, some people who were put to death are found not guilty later on due to DNA and more advanced technologies. An estimated and mind blowing 4-8% of people who were put to death in America since the 1970’s were wrongfully done so. Meaning that out of the 1558 people we have put to death in the United States, about 190 confirmed cases were found not guilty and exonerated after their death. This is honestly heartbreaking and totally barbaric that these things happen in this modern age. But in the last few years, the number of people who were put to death has dwindled and in the year 2022, The United States only executed 18 people making it the 8th consecutive year with fewer than 30 executions. But, The Death Penalty Information Center concluded that one third of those 18 executions were mishandled/botched. However, without the mishandling of the executions, these smaller numbers do seem promising as I lean a little more towards rehabilitating our criminals and helping them become healthy parts of society, even if they are behind bars forever. And with our modern technology, medicine and better understanding of the human body and brain, I don’t see how this isn’t possible.
