Whitney has spent 20-plus years reading everything she can find about crime and criminal psychology. When she’s not busy podcasting or teaching graduate students how to write better, she’s hanging out with her husband and their 8 cats (and the raccoon family that lives in their backyard). Whitney has a passionate belief in the power of true crime stories to save lives and empower us to protect ourselves from toxic relationships and coercive control.

Katie loved roasting marshmallows by the campfire growing up.  She also possessed a lifelong unhinged disdain for all things “murdery.”  When Katie and Whitney met via an online true crime website, the kernel of an idea was formed, the creation of a podcast, where they invite you to slow down, take a minute and enjoy tasty snacks while learning about true crime that is WAY stranger than fiction.
