Who am I?

Relatively new to podcasting, I have been lucky enough to have booked some incredible guests that have delivered one Amazing conversation after another. I'm always taken back that podcasting can go from a funny rant, to conversations with FBI agents, NBC executives and even some of the top lawyers and police officers in the country. I love the podcast industry and I love spreading cool information to the public. Definitely not an expert lol, I chose this subject because there is way too much news and way too many news outlets. I like my podcast (And podcast platform in general) because we can control the speed, slow everything down and actually learn about true crime and other cases, the how and why of it,

What is my podcast playlist about?

My playlist is about #cantturnitoff quality, both keeping it interesting, and keeping it consistently good. Informative meets entertaining!!! I've always liked the not beating around the bush approach to news and true crime, and this the embodiment of great podcasting, fascinating and blunt.

The podcasts I picked and why

1. Zone 7 with Sheryl McCollum

Why this podcast?

Simply put, it's just the best podcast out there!! Terrific host, amazing guests, incredible stories, everything that is great about the true crime universe, wrapped up on one show, that consistently delivers one great episode after another. Just the best!!!!!
