    Love Lies & Alibis Quick Hits: How Long Is Too Long

    🎙️ LOVE LIES & ALIBIS | How Long Is Too Long? How long is too long to wait for marriage? We hear it all the time... "Marriage is just a piece of paper." But is it really? In this week's Love Lies & Alibis Quick Take, we're talking about long engagements, long-term relationships, and whether there comes a point when waiting becomes settling. Would you stay with someone for 5 years? 10 years? 20 years... if marriage is something you truly want? And here's the real question... After spending decades building a life together, are you okay with being remembered as the "special friend" in someone's obituary? 👀 This one's guaranteed to spark a debate. Drop your thoughts in the comments. I want to hear both sides. 🎧 Watch now on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. #MelaninMysteries #LoveLiesAndAlibis #RelationshipTalk #Dating #Marriage #LongTermRelationships #Engagement #Podcast #BlackPodcasters #RelationshipDebate

    The New Era Marcus Bailey & Almanita Smith

    A welfare check. A missing Army veteran. A boyfriend whose stories weren't adding up. And cousins... the more I learned about this case, the more irritated I got. This week we're headed to Columbia, South Carolina to discuss the murder of 26-year-old Almanita Smith, a decorated Army veteran, educator, homeowner, and all-around powerhouse who had her entire future ahead of her. When Almanita suddenly stopped answering calls from her family, alarm bells immediately started going off. What followed was an investigation that uncovered lies, secrets, and enough suspicious behavior to make detectives start side-eyeing the person closest to her. And baby... some people really don't know how to act when they meet a good woman. Let's talk about it. 🖤 Join the conversation and let me know your thoughts on this case. 🖤 Follow Melanin Mysteries on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. 🖤 Join our Facebook discussion group, Love, Lies & Alibis. 🖤 If you enjoyed the episode, please leave your girl a 5-star review and share the podcast with a friend. Reviews help the podcast grow and help new cousins find our little Black true crime corner of the internet. As always... Hearts break. Alibis don't. 🖤

    Love Lies & Alibis Quick Hit: Why y'all still taking relationship advice from men who cheat?!

    🚨 LOVE, LIES & ALIBIS 🚨 Can we have an uncomfortable conversation? Why are we taking relationship advice from men who can't seem to stay faithful to the women they're with? 👀 Every week there's a podcast clip telling women what we're doing wrong, what men want, and how to keep a relationship together... Then a few months later we're finding out the host has a wife, a girlfriend, a side chick, and a public apology video. So let's talk about it. Can a cheater still give good relationship advice? Does good advice become bad advice when the messenger is a hypocrite? Or are we listening for entertainment and calling it expertise? Tonight, we're stirring the pot and asking the questions social media has been dancing around. Grab your wine, because this one might get messy. 🍷 👇🏾 SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS 👇🏾 If a relationship podcaster gets exposed for cheating, are you still listening to their advice? #LoveLiesAndAlibis #MelaninMysteries #RelationshipTalk #DatingDebates #PodcastDiscussion #BlackPodcast #RelationshipPodcast #DatingIn2026 #Cheating #PodcastLife

    One Bad Night: Get Off Me

    A beautiful 22-year-old woman. A festival packed with thousands of people. And one man whose ego couldn't handle being told no. Tiaran Poyau was educated, adventurous, and had her entire future ahead of her. She had just earned her master's degree, landed her first accounting job, and was ready to take on the world. But during Brooklyn's 2016 J'Ouvert Festival, a stranger started dancing on her without permission. Tiaran's response? "Get off me." Four words that should've ended the interaction. Instead, they sparked a chain of events that would leave one family planning a funeral and another family watching their loved one head to prison. This week on One Bad Night, Tiffany aka Det. Lightskinn breaks down the senseless murder of Tiaran Poyau, the absolutely ridiculous way police caught her killer, and why some people let their ego write checks their common sense can't cash. Because cousins... Nobody should lose their life for telling somebody to leave them alone.
