Episode 10 - Common Sense and the Murder of Meredith Kercher

Today on a special episode of the podcast, Mr. Air Force is back to talk about the murder of Meredith Kercher. While this discussion will inevitably lead to Amanda Knox, we want to make sure that we are giving due diligence to this case and honoring the fact that this case is about Meredith and the life that was lost.

In this episode we talk about several documentaries, interviews and books. You can find the links below.

Episode 5: True Crime Tuesday Special Episode!

Hi everyone! Welcome to a special episode of Common Sense and Sweet Tea. We are on vacation and my mommy is in town so I decide to put her in front of the microphone to talk about two true crime stories that took place in and near my hometown. Today we sit down to take a look at the cases of Dorthea Puente and the Zodiac Killer. I want to point out that while true crime fascinates me, it is also important to me that we remember and acknowledge the victims of these crimes as well. They lost their lives too soon, and at the hands of evil individuals.
