  • True Crime Conversations

    I first listened because my daughter was interviewed about her podcast ‘The Nurse’ after it was released.

    I find each episode to be a refreshing change from the ‘ reporting’ style of most true crime podcasts. The guests are eloquent and extremely varied personalities and no two episodes are the same. Definitely a great listen!

    I was listening to the show about Lisa McVay and I had to say that it was so moving and I feel so much for this lady and what she’s been through in her life. I think she is so inspiring in people feel sorry for themselves after much less difficult circumstances. Wow! I can’t even find the right words to say how listening to these episodes changed my perspective. ❤️🙏🏼
