It’s time to follow the money. Grace & Kyleigh attempt to figure out if and how anyone is actually making a profit in podcasting, or if they should start considering different career paths. But what are the ethical pitfalls that come with making a living off other people’s deaths? The hosts uncover the hidden power of the Apple algorithm, the surprising origin of true crime podcast advertising, and what SimpliSafe Home Security has to do with all of this.
