Hi, everybody! Things are changing up a little over here at True Crime and Headlines! We have a new razzled-dazzled logo, thanks to Jen Rivera from Reignited Media....and....we have Jen! She has signed on as my partner and co-host for True Crime and Headlines with Jules & Jen.
Jen is a trained journalist and has a passion for advocating for victim rights. Her hosting style reminds me a bit of Ashley Flowers of Crime Junkie or Daphne from Going West (both amazing women in podcasting)- down to business and not afraid to ask big questions.
Jen comes to us from The UnSeen Truth Podcast (catch her trailer here on the feed!) and Shores of Strength- a non profit she founded to help victims and families.

What to expect from Season Two:
Jules & Jen will cohost most episodes together! We will take turns narrating for you, and sometimes one will tell the story and the other will learn alongside you.  We will also have episodes where we fly solo- and that's why this model is SO amazing for us. We're both founders of our own production companies and we are both women balancing a career and family while striving to continue to learn and advocate. If Jen needs a few weeks away, Jules will record solo episodes. This model allows us to not miss any episodes and to keep the weekly episodes flowing for you!

Could the violent struggles of a young girl in Colombia sow the seeds for one of the most fearsome empires in criminal history? Griselda Blanco was a woman who would stop at nothing to claim power and instill fear.

Feel the tension mount as we trace Griselda's footsteps from the violent streets of Colombia to the drug-laden avenues of New York and Miami, illuminating her ascent to narco royalty.  Throughout the United States in the 1970s and 1980s she outmaneuvered rivals and law enforcement alike.

Join me for an intimate examination of a woman whose life was a complex web of ambition, murder, and legacy—an iron-fisted reign that transformed the landscape of the international drug trade forever. This is not just another true crime story; it's an unflinching portrait of a queen in a world ruled by kings.
