Sportscaster Erin Andrews was living her dream, traveling all over the country to cover college football games. It was tough to be a woman in a male-dominated industry, but she made a name for herself as a sideline reporter. Then one day, her world changed. A friend called to say that there was naked footage of her on the internet. Erin laughed. She told him that couldn’t be true. But he was right. Erin had been filmed without her knowledge, and the footage was going viral. 

Then Brandi tells us about Tina and Gabe Watson, whose two-week honeymoon to Australia ended in tragedy. The couple took diving lessons prior to their trip, but Tina had never gone diving in the ocean. Gabe was more experienced, but not by much. On October 22, 2003, the couple dove to view the wrecked SS Yongala. Tina didn’t survive the dive. 

And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
