I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, and I’m really picky about them. When I first stumbled on TCC, I was expecting another passable true crime pod hosted by two educated young white women who have good chemistry. I got that and more. They have a beautiful balance of humor and respect, hot takes and objectivity, personal anecdotes/tangents and deep focus on the topic at hand. They really understand what works in a podcast, and every week since that first discovery, I’ve enjoyed the ride, and appreciated their approach. Until today, I’ve been a freeloading, non-patreon-subscribing, non-review-leaving weed who appreciated and consumed the content but never felt compelled to comment or contribute. But this is what occurred to me today as I listened to this story about America’s worst case of municipal fraud: only these two could pull this off. I spent an hour of my busy life absolutely rapt. About municipal fraud. I was envisioning the mini-series. Who would play Rita? WHO WOULD PLAY SWAN?? What about Swan’s confused husband? Oh my god how much money did she make on horse semen? And IS there a TikTok beauty trend that we don’t know about?! ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES!! xoxox 10 out of 10 im a listener forever and now a patron goodbye!
