Your next true crime binge

Can’t tell you how many TC podcasts I’ve started and stopped. Estela and Barb have wonderful energy and I feel like I’m having a drink with friends! I’m often conflicted with it comes to this stuff, but they cover cases with the upmost respect for the victims. These two need to blow up.
