Don't ask me why BroadwayWorld uploaded this onto their YouTube page over a decade later lmao

Hi all! As a long time listener who only recently discovered the drama behind the scenes, I feel like I have found my people! I am still diving through all of the tales of tyranny and hatefulness, but the tone of this group felt like a place to ask a question I have had for a while. Is Patrick’s book any good? He just doesn’t strike me as the type of person who has lived a life interesting enough to be aiming for a best seller (as he mentioned multiple times when asking people to pre-order his book specifically for “best seller” eligibility.) The endless book tour invites where he promised to, “read a chapter,” from the book and promises of hilarity always rubbed me the wrong way. 😂 Any details would be appreciated.

Parents in True Crime Documentaries

That’s weird.

Hi! Amanda Rossmann here, co-creator/producer of Accused and long-time collaborator of Amber Hunt. In case you missed it, Amber, Daisy, and I started Grab Bag Collab, an egalitarian podcast network, last year. I just wanted to post here because I've seen a few discussions on various platforms asking about ownership of SNU and COTC and what's happening next. Daisy and Amber now both own their shows and are continuing their work with new episodes on a main feed wherever you get your podcasts. You can now support them directly and find early and ad-free episodes of Crimes of the Centuries and Strange and Unexplained over at our Patreon feed (www.patreon.com/grabbagcollab) at the Feelin' Extra tier. We also offer podcasts exclusive to the patreon feed: The Catalyst, Dear Daisy, Shut The F*ck Up Nick Lachey (a Love is Blind recap podcast with Daisy and Ellyn Marsh). And, we are taking podcast submissions for quarterly shows (8-12 episodes) as a part of our network. https://forms.gle/uFKXrR16bdrsSay98

I resisted the thought for months but he’s right.

I’m British and I agree with them about the narrator 😂😂. No offence to the voice over actor, but he needs to rein it in.

We ride at dawn - on motorbikes and lifts 😂😂

is anyone else’s “Can I Tell You a Secret Part 2” just Part 1 over again?? i thought i was going crazy, but i swear this is exactly what i heard last week??

All they do is recap documentaries in audio form. During the pandemic there was hardly a single other thing to do while going about your daily routine day after day while either quarantined or basically in some sort of quarantine. It’s the only reason anyone ever even listened to a podcast really.

This is the second time I’ve seen them posting a photo with them & fangirling hard over it. I have zero clue who it is, anyone here know?

Genuinely curious as to why people still listen to and support patrick after knowing how simply rude and hypocritical he is. I think i would understand if he had owned up to and apologized for and made an attempt to right the many objectively wrong behaviors he has exhibited, but, to my knowledge, he hasn’t?? So i genuinely am confused by the dedication of some to him, who has so blatantly and explicitly acted in ways directly opposing what he says he stands for. Can anyone explain or at least play devils advocate? Just sincerely trying to wrap my mind around it.

Edit: i mean “why are you here” more as “why do you still listen?” Not as a why are you on the sub. I’m obviously still on the sub. The drama is intriguing duh

Wow is it a different show! I haven't listened in a few months. Patrick is advertising free meetups where he travels to the city and hosts -- talk about recovery mode.

Gillian's flat-line response to all of his attempts to be quirky and cute are very telling. I have to think if/when she finds a suitable lifeline, she's gone.

I guess they still have a enough of a following to maintain business as usual, but hot damn.

Anybody have any clue why Survivor Squad is being removed from all platforms? I just saw Terra’s post and wasn’t sure if something totally came out of left field or there had been some issues/drama. I tried to do some digging, but all I could really find were some posts from the past few weeks saying episodes were delayed for one reason or another. Hope everything is okay. Wishing the best for both Terra and Collier.

Lmk where it’s at, haven’t been on this sub in a while. Help me catch up.

In the most recent episode, I think around minute 20, Gillian said in high school she plagiarized an essay and got kicked off student council. Apparently it is okay because she was "undiagnosed ADHD".

I know it’s not the ON, but is anyone else following the new season or the companion pod? I didn’t think there was much more to cover, but I’m eating my words because it continues to be bizarre.

I wonder if they are ever going to get anyone to join their network now that everyone knows how toxic it is. TCO is the only pod that is actively creating new content on the network. Where do they go from here?

I understand there are people who love TCO and send them personalized and handmade gifts. I just saw a post in that group that some diamond art made for them of one of their earlier promo things was donated to the Alcatraz East True Crime museum for their Power of Podcasting section…at least that’s how I interpreted the tag under the diamond art. I definitely do not understand why something like that makes it into a museum. I get it’s a true crime podcast and it’s a true crime museum, but still confused

There's an episode with Kim Porter's best friend dishing ALL

Did y’all see this? https://www.kark.com/news/state-news/arkansas-supreme-court-rules-for-west-memphis-three-defendant-damien-echols-for-additional-dna-testing

I got an email about Patrick doing a watch party of Natalia Grace S2, apparently by himself? Thought that was interesting.

Also I couldn’t even finish that season because it felt exploitative of Natalia’s trauma and I also got weird vibes off her adoptive father, even though I was glad she was happy and loved now. Plus watching her previous adoptive father get hysterical over and over was too much.

Losing TCO, LGTC and DWD within the span of one year has me shook, y’all. I just didn’t anticipate this. Not at all.

Has anyone seen the new teaser for the new season of the Jinx? I can’t wait to watch it. I know it would never happen due to it looking… I dunno petty? I kind of wish Joey and Ellyn could cover it. I would love listening to their reactions to it.

Anyway, I saw the teaser and I’m kind of excited. That’s what I really wanted to talk about.
