LuciannaVamp ,

My go to podcast!

I really enjoy listening to Kelsey and Sierra's banter and hearing about their drink choices. The banter between them is funny and puts a light hearted note into the cases that they cover. The content is well researched and there is a wide range of topics covered. So pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass and listen away!
