Katie here! I’ve had a weird obsession with true crime since I was a girl. I remember watching forensic files by 10 (not your average Disney fan girl like ever). The weirdest thing that ever happened to me was when I tried to write a research paper on Ted Bundy, at 13, it freaked my teacher out, she called my dad worried. My dad told her I wasn’t interested in things other people perceived as intriguing. He was right, and still is 15 years later. Part of me feels like I can solve these cases myself, so join me as I try to. Therapy (sorta) and mediocre comedy included.
So here’s the deal: in this episode we’re talking Roe v. Wade — what it meant, how the Supreme Court ripped it apart, and why the fallout has been an absolute disaster. We’ll hit the history (aka how Roe became the backbone of reproductive rights for nearly 50 years), then break down what happened in 2022 when the Court basically said, “good luck out there, ladies.” Spoiler: it’s not just a “state’s rights” thing — it’s chaos.
And of course, I’ve got plenty of commentary. Like why politicians who can’t even balance a budget think they’re qualified to legislate uteruses. Or why “just move states” is the dumbest non-solution ever — because last I checked, basic health care shouldn’t depend on your zip code. Roe wasn’t just a court case. It was freedom. And losing it? That changes everything.
If you care about reproductive rights — or you just want to hear me yell about old men in politics playing doctor — this one’s for you.

64 - The Summer I Moved Back To FL
In The Summer I Moved Back to Florida, I cover the heartbreaking story of Polly Klaas, the 12-year-old girl whose 1993 abduction and murder shocked the nation and forever changed the way we talk about child safety. This episode takes a closer look at what happened, the investigation, and the impact her case still has decades later.
I also talk about music, concerts, and the culture that comes with them — the beer, the boots, and everything in between. Because while the case is heavy, life always has its mix of darkness and light.
If you’re looking for true crime told with care, honesty, and a touch of real-life personality, this episode is for you.

63 - This Podcast Is Not For You
We’re talking Columbine — the lead-up, the day of, and the aftermath that shook the country. This isn’t just the timeline; it’s the culture, the media, and how this tragedy still fuels the fight over gun laws today. I’m also touching on immigration — from the broken system to the people paying the price — and what you can actually do to stand with immigrant communities.
