Let's Taco 'Bout True Crime


Aug 27, 2019

On this bonus episode I talk about breaking news in the true crime podcast community - the Crime Junkie plagiarism allegations.  My guests Steven Pacheco from Trace Evidence and Robin Warder from The Trail Went Cold have both been connected to this story.  My own podcast, Once Upon a Crime, has also been directly affected.
