Five (5 things I have learned from making and consuming true crime content

Stay safe out there

(This is a true crime podcast. Listener discertion is advised.)

The death of a beautiful young woman raises a pertinent discussion. Everything at this point is allegations, speculations, some informed and others seemingly mean-spirited.

What a strange concept, to export crime. And yet, it happens..

(The original audio was low volume and poor quality. This was a recording issue, due to limited recording equipment, that will not persist in future episodes.

The audio has been replaced with a higher volume file. The quality is not the best but please bear with us. We will do better. Thank you for your feedback concerning this issue.)
