  • UPDATED WEEKLY

It’s About Time for True Crime! Join your new favorite hosts as we explore true crime cases of all kinds, drawing on more than a decade of combined education—and even more real-world experience—in and around the criminal justice field. Each episode explores the events, circumstances, psychology, sociology, and investigative details behind the crimes. We dive beyond the headline to understand not only what happened, but why. While many episodes focus on specific cases, we also explore special topics within the world of crime and criminal justice, from investigative techniques to patterns in criminal behavior. We balance the heavy hitting material with some much needed sarcasm and dry humor, because sometimes, if you’re not laughing, you’re crying! Most importantly, we aim to bring light and voice to the victims and survivors. We hope to build a community that honors those affected, learns from the past, and works toward preventing these tragedies from happening again. There’s room for everyone at the ATFTC table!
