In our very first Squad Meeting, we talk about heading to CrimeCon 2025 in Denver, our first CrimeCon experience! We don’t have a booth this year, but we’re excited to be there to connect with the true crime community, meet listeners in person, hang out with other podcasters, and see what the event is all about. And yes…we’ll have coffee mugs, t-shirts, and stickers to hand out!

We also take a moment to thank all of you for your incredible support and share how much it truly means to us. We’ll tell you how you can stay connected with us and announce our brand-new interactive series, Cross Examined, where you’ll get the chance to interview us directly on the podcast.

Finally, we give an update on our current series, The War We Owe Them, talk about why it was our first deep dive, and reveal two new upcoming series: Justice for Sale and Justice Abroad.
