The Two Jess(es) get the chance to sit down with UK's #1 True Crime Podcast Host, Sam Walker- and ask her All The Things. Sam hosts the 12-episode series where she interviews KC — a U.S. military veteran turned American Vigilante — as he shares elaborate stories about his time over the last 20 years as a real life vigilante for hire — everything from saving abducted children, rescue missions and more. KC is a hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who stands on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption, and Sam lets Jess and Jess in a bit behind the scenes on her over 50 hours of interviews with this man she has never met, and really can't see.

While this episode centers around Sam's podcast, the real theme is pondering the fascination almost EVERY woman has with true crime stories. Is it because it makes us feel safer, watching something terrible happen to someone else? Or is it because it makes us feel smarter?

If you are a woman that is obsessed with true crime, this is an episode you will surely appreciate.
