Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color

Fruitloops: Serial Killer of Color is a true crime, history, and comedy podcast that delves into the often-overlooked stories of serial killers of color—and, more importantly, their victims. Contrary to common misconceptions, not all serial killers are straight, cis, white men! We take deep dives into the lives and crimes of these killers worldwide, while also examining the history, culture, and social factors that may have influenced their actions.

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.
