What happens after the experiences of true crime survivors have been shared with the world? Does the media truly capture all it entails to survive such tragedy in the public eye? What comes after the convictions are in, the cameras stop rolling, and the court of public opinion has spoken? Can sharing our stories lead to justice, and is there ever really justice? These questions and many more are... more

  • Boring, Lefty blah blah blah

    Just more tiresome liberal propaganda. Started well but nowadays it’s basically an anti Trump yawnfest. Boring.

  • Not the same anymore

    I used to love and look forward listening to this podcast. The first seasons were awesome, they kept it entertaining and with a big spotlight on the victim.

    Then Tiffany talking about statistics for about 15 minutes felt completely unnecessary. While I appreciate the facts and research, I don’t think it should be that long.

    I wish she’d go back to listen to seaso... more
