It's tough, especially doing a story like Jonestown. which is complex. And on that episode in particular, I really wanted to do right by the few survivors that there were because they've just been really brought through the ringer in terms of the media. So many of them are very, very fearful to talk to anybody. So I just wanted to try to do justice by that story.

And it's tough in a single episode, but hopefully we accomplished some of that. Trying to do cases that are maybe infamous or covered a lot in the true crime world I wanted to see like, okay, can we do a newer perspective or telling on that? With Joe and Stan, most people don't know that the large majority of the people who died in Guyana were Black women or Black folks in general.

There was this real social justice component to his messaging, racial justice, class inequities, all of those things.

One episode I'm really excited about that we're doing on season two is actually a two-part episode on the Manson murders, which is another super infamous case. A lot of people don't know the details around the fact that Manson was trying to incite a race war. And that was very tied up in what ended up happening in those killings.

He tried to pin these killings on the Black Panthers, left all these red herrings at the crime scene trying to like push authorities in that direction. Those were elements that I had never heard before. I always kind of was like, oh, yeah, Manson isn't like a bunch of crazy hippies that went on some killing spree. And it's like, well, there's a lot more to it.

In that first episode, we really cover the rise of the Manson family leading up to the murders. And then the second episode is really that trial. That trial at that time was just covered everywhere. And this was decades before O.J. Simpson. If there was any kind of precursor to the coverage that O.J. Simpson's trial got, it would be this trial. It was just...

So many news reporters swarming on that building. People had come in from all across the country just to see what was going to happen. That's a two-part episode that's coming out that I think folks will be interested in hearing. I try to do cases sometimes that get relegated to like the history category. In our first season, we did the Tulsa Race Massacre, for example.

And that's a story that I think most people don't really know the details of that because it's not told in a format that's really accessible to people unless you're like a history buff or really interested in the history of racial injustice in this country. I was like, what would it look like if we told stories that are typically considered history, but in a true crime format?
