About Drop Dead Serious
I know a thing or two about true crime... I’ve been reporting on it for 36 years. This is the podcast where I take you on a journey through mystery and injustice... and dive deep into critical clues with an irreverent style that I don’t share on TV! Join me for my personal take on many of these stories and my personal connection to several as well! I’m Ashleigh Banfield, and I’m Drop Dead Serious! New Episodes Every Thursday!
