Show notes
Have you ever had a stalker?
- 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men have had at least 1 stalker in their lifetime
- 3 in 4 victims know their stalkers in some capacity
- Today we will talk about a case that just happened this week, a Texas stalker that drove 2,600 miles from Houston to Redmond Washington to kill his victim and her husband
- This case has a modern spin to it- the victim had a podcast, and the stalker was one of her fans.
- We live in a world where 5 million podcasts exist, so are we not statistically likely to see this thing happen more and more?
- Also the 1 sided relationship between a podcaster and their fans is quite imbalanced.
- I myself am a fan of podcasts, and understand the intimate, yet 1 sided relationship that can be built. After all, we listen to countless hours of a podcasters voice and their musings. How could that NOT create a sense of familiarity?
- I have talked to fans of my own work who blow me away with the details they pick up about me from listening to this show
- Meanwhile, I have never met them before, and usually had no clue of their existence prior to meeting them.
- The story you are about to hear is a case of what happens when the podcaster/podcaster fan relationship goes horribly wrong.
- This episode is for Joey, a patron of the show who brought this story to my attention, thank you Joey.
