Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato stop by to talk with Kyle Meredith about their latest HBO Max documentary Murder In Glitterball City, a true-crime story that hits especially close to home since it was shot in Louisville, just blocks from where Kyle’s sitting. The World of Wonder founders (the same duo behind The Eyes Of Tammy Faye and Party Monster) dig into why this case — involving a body found in a Victorian mansion basement and two lovers blaming each other — demanded a different kind of true-crime approach, one that looks beyond the crime itself and into community, queer history, addiction, mythmaking, and the ghosts a city carries with it. Bailey and Barbato also talk about expanding beyond the source book, finding unforgettable local characters, navigating the responsibility of telling difficult LGBTQ stories honestly, and why this case still haunts them long after filming wrapped.
