True Crime with a Twist
Welcome to True Crime with a Twist—the podcast where Arkansas speaks for itself. Known as “The Natural State,” Arkansas may seem quiet, but when something happens… it really happens—and nobody ever sees it coming. There’s a long, disturbing history of crimes and murders here that rarely get media attention, often buried and forgotten. That’s where I come in. I’m here to dig up the stories that deserve to be told. The overlooked, the underreported, the cases that were swept aside. Each episode gives a voice to the voiceless men and women of Arkansas—because their stories matter.

I've been MIA since August and I feel like the best way to come back to my podcast is by catching my faithful listeners up to speed.

I'm doing better now, and I see the sun shining and I get happy about the little things again. I created a Patreon, but don't feel obligated ...
