And I felt from the very beginning that if I was going to create a show, I wanted to take the things that I really did like about the true crime genre, which is these ability to tell these really compelling stories and merge it with some of these things that came from my own perspective.

That's that social justice podcast. That's that history true crime podcast. No, no. I wanted to be a true crime podcast, to sit firmly in that genre, tell a compelling story, but to have the takeaway be a little bit different, to have the nuances show through. And so that is how I ended up coming up with the concept for Truer Crime. I just dove headfirst into that.

January of 2021, literally just started writing my first episode. And I was like, let's see what I can come up with. Then in the spring of 2021, I released the first season of Truer Crime completely independently. I had no podcasting experience. I didn't know what was going to become of it.

And I think there's a lot of shame around it because this feeling of only a stupid person is going to fall for that.

I think it was just kind of validating for people to hear my experience, to be able to connect with that. I feel like it kind of raised questions for people.
