True Crime Conversations: Patrick Hinds, Josh Hallmark, and Eric Carter-Landin

Hey Fam! We’re so excited to share this conversation between Patrick, Josh Hallmark, host of the podcasts True Crime Bullshit and Unsafe Spaces, and Eric Carter-Landin, co-founder of AdvocacyCon and host of the podcast True Consequences.. In this conversation, Patrick, Josh, and Eric chat about why they podcast, how they go into it, the distinct perspectives of being gay men covering true crime, and they share the true crime podcasts they’ve loved over the past few years. This is a great opportunity to learn about podcasts you may not have heard of and, as Patrick says, to hear three queens flame out over the existence of an America’s Next Top model tell all podcast. It’s…sassy. Check out Josh and Eric's Stuff: True Crime Bullshit: [https://www.bothand.fyi/truecrimebullshit] True Crime Bullsh** is a serialized, investigative podcast that aims to identify the missing victims of serial killer Israel Keyes.

True Consequences: [https://open.spotify.com/show/4g37tYpDvgEsGQdJ5r7b8E] Abq NM-based, award-winning true crime podcast, with advocacy-focused cases from the Southwestern state of New Mexico and the American Desert Southwest.

475: In Ice Cold Blood: Miss Fortune

In April 2005, Ha Smith, a prominent Vietnamese-American fortune teller, and her adult daughter, Anita Vo, were found brutally murdered in Smith's home. They had been beaten and stabbed. The killer had stolen cash, jewelry, and credit cards, and poured white paint over the victims' heads and hands, a detail that initially led police to consider that it had been a ritualistic killing. It would take weeks and a cross country manhunt to uncover the truth. Fam, THIS. ONE. IS. WILD.

472: Trainwreck: PI Moms

IT WAS GONNA BE A REALLY GOOD REALITY SHOW, FAM, WE SWEAR TO GODDESS! Ugh, in 2010, Lifetime TV ordered 8 episodes of a show called PI Moms. And it was supposed to be just as badass as it sounds: A group of women kicking ass, taking names, and solving crimes. The only problem is that WE CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD, and so it turns out, the whole enterprise was being run by a guy who not only didn't actually care about the show, but was also BUYING AND THEN SELLING DRUGS FROM A DIRTY COP, annnnnnnnd a completely different egomaniac dude was trying to derail the whole thing because the producers wouldn't make a show called PI MOMS ABOUT HIM. Like, you really can't make this stuff up. And there's a reason this (amazing) series is called Trainwreck. Ugh. ANYWAY GET READY TO HEAR US SCREAM FOR AN HOUR (sorry for yelling).
