A Lettered Bowling Champion and a 4’11 Queen talk about True Crime

I truly love the fresh take these gals have given us in the TC space. Their fun and lighthearted humor is such a gem in an over-saturated environment (Thank you, dear Abbledabbleson for the ever present dad jokes!)

I’ve been following them since basically day 1. Tuesday is my favorite day of the week because it’s ATFTC pod day! I also get information about the minds of killers from their CJ short episodes that I haven’t heard anywhere else. Give them a listen and I promise you’ll be hooked immediately. 💖
