True Crime BnB

What is True Crime BnB about?

True Crime isn't for everyone, and even those of us who are interested in the stories of what happened to people sometimes feel a little crime-overload. It is important to know what people experienced. It helps us to see victims of crime as real people to hear what they were like, what they enjoyed, and how these awful things came to happen to them. So we look for cases that didn't make headlines for six months and weren't so famous that everyone has already heard those narratives. If you've heard a case on three podcasts already, you're unlikely to hear it at True Crime BnB. There are so many people who have been hurt or victimized by others, we don't all need to keep recovering the same twenty over and over. So we have two goals with every episode. First, we want to humanize a victim who might otherwise have been lost to time. We want you to hear their names and know their stories. Second, every episode (except solo Just One B episodes) have a second story, and that one will always have a positive aspect--a survivor who went on to help others, in the cases of some of the earliest episodes, a perpetrator who got what they deserved, in the sense of street justice. You will get to the end of our episodes knowing the terrible things that happened to real people, but we promise never to glamourize or sensationalize these crimes. The people who experienced these things were no different from you or me, and we never forget their humanity in the telling of their stories. So please give us a listen, because we think you'll get something out of what we do. But please--never start at the first episodes. We've grown so much in our time here! Welcome, friends, to the True Crime BnB.
