Both women have been deeply involved in the true crime genre, producing compelling series that explore the dark minds of these criminals.

Jacquie Bynon shares her experiences working on true crime series, including her work on Ted Bundy and the Green River Killer.
She highlights the differences in public perception between Bundy, who targeted young women, and the Green River Killer, whose victims were largely marginalized. This disparity in attention underscores societal biases in crime storytelling. The conversation also touches on the psychological profiles of serial killers, offering insights into the complexities of their personalities and the impact of their actions on victims and communities. The hosts reflect on the emotional toll and the necessity of remembering the evil these individuals inflicted.
Throughout the episode, Trish Wood emphasizes the importance of critical thinking in understanding these stories and encourages listeners to engage thoughtfully with the content. As she prepares for a brief hiatus, she announces that Jeffrey Tucker from the Brownstone Institute will be guest hosting, bringing his own perspectives to the platform. This episode is a testament to the enduring intrigue surrounding true crime stories and the profound impact they have on society.
It invites listeners to contemplate the nature of evil and the narratives we construct around it.
