S18 Ep11: Dr. Amy Shlosberg - Women & Crime Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

Schedules got messed up at the last minute just before this week's planned Follow-Up recording, so rather than a normal follow-up this week we're releasing two bonus episodes. It's Women's History Month, so we're sharing two interviews Bob conducted on True Crime Binge back in 2020, featuring some incredible female justice warriors. In this episode we're joined by Criminology Professor and Co-Host of the Women & Crime podcast, Dr. Shlosberg and Bob have an interesting conversation about her background and a case that she and Dr. Sacks were working on at the time of this recording.

S18 Ep10: Chelsea & Brittany - The Red Justice Project Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

In this special extra episode, we're replaying a True Crime Binge interview with the hosts of The Red Justice Project. The mission of The Red Justice Project is to bring awareness to the many cases of missing and murdered indigenous people in North America, and the way they are erased in American media. They also highlight the many political and social injustices faced by indigenous people. Crimes of continual cultural genocide and the resilience indigenous people have to endure for generations to come.

Hosts Chelsea Locklear and Brittany Hunt talk about how the podcast came to be, their mission and the incredible work they're doing for MMIP.
