Forensic Friends episodes

  • Firearms and Ballistics
    What happens when a very tired healthcare worker records an episode about forensics in the midst of a pandemic and mass panic? Madness and a whole lot of tangents. Not sorry.Between Shelley's upbringing in a "gang-ridden" neighbourhood of Toronto, Natalie being shamed for failing Shelley's pop quiz, and at some point, the Avengers...Shelley gives an overview of ballistic evidence and how a projectile might be linked to a suspect firearm.Stay tuned for show notes and follow the podcast on social media to get the supplementary visual aids!Twitter: @forensicfiendsInstagram: @forensicfriendspodcast

  • Forensic Pathology
    This week, an exhausted Shelley gives an overview of the duties of a forensic pathologist, what the difference between a coroner, a medical examiner, and a forensic pathologist is, and goes over what happens in a standard autopsy. Meanwhile, both she and Natalie completely forget to shit-talk the missing triple F, Dylan. Whoops.Stay tuned for show notes and follow the podcast on social media to get the supplementary visual aids!Twitter: @forensicfiendsInstagram: @forensicfriendspodcast

    This week, Shelley gives Natalie an overview of what forensic anthropology actually is and discusses some of the techniques used to process outdoor scenes of crimes and clandestine graves.

  • Fibre Evidence
    Just a slight content warning: it's not at all related to the actual topic of the episode but we talk about a bit of gore in the beginning. Besides that, though, this week we discuss fibre evidence and debunk the misconception that it's "debunked". Yep, that's right, fibre evidence IS real evidence!
