Who am I?
Brooklyn born and raised. Now living in Jersey. I am a mom and work full time but I also love listening to podcasts while I work or do chores. I’m also a part time podcast host and cupcake maker. Love feeling like I can do something good for someone. Definitely not an expert but I love the crowd source model. I love the fact that we can help each other. When I was young a friend of mine went missing and was never found. I’ve always wished I could’ve somehow helped bring her home.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
I want to help people too. I feel as though there are so many stories about missing loved ones and not enough platforms for all the stories to be heard. I want to help bring awareness. But I want to do this with a twist. While I absolutely want to give a platform to people who are looking for a missing lives one, I also want to broaden the spectrum. Simply put, I want to help people find answers.
What is my podcast playlist about?
I’m a true crime junkie. I listen to these because they are either trying to help solve cases, find missing people, open our minds to other possibilities, or help a wrongfully convicted person.
1. Truth & Justice with Bob Ruff
Why this podcast?
I found this show after being obsessed with Serial and wanted more on the subject. Bob has moved on from that first season to truly be an inspiration. He has shifted into working full time to help correct wrongful convictions, as well as actively trying to solve cases. He speaks eloquently and you can hear the passion he has for the subject.

5. Real Crime Profile
Why this podcast?
This show truly speaks to me as a psych degree holder. Jim Clemente and Laura Richards are so knowledgeable and so insightful. I love how they breakdown cases and speak on profiling. I also love the fact that Laura is from the UK so it’s a nice variance of having that perspective as well.
