Blog Post 1: Crime Junkies Podcast

One of my hobbies is listening and reading about true crime, because I find it so compelling and interesting to look into. One of my favourite podcasts is “Crime Junkies” and I listen to it when I’m on long drives or walks, because the discussion between the two hosts are very easy to follow. One of the cool things about their website and platform that goes along with the podcast, is that it always has extra features like links to 911 calls from the case, maps of houses involved in the case and other visuals to assist in the understanding of the crime at hand.

What I love about crime junkies is that it exists as a tool to help deliver awareness of unsolved cases, and if listeners happen to have any information on certain cases that they may only have understood they knew after hearing the podcast, they can assist in solving the case. This has actually occurred before, where a listener of the podcast heard information on an unsolved case and was able to reach out and give the information they had to help locate the missing individual. Overall, I think “Crime Junkies” is an entertaining but also though-provoking podcast worth listening to.

    Hey Kaileigh,

    I checked out the link you attached to your post, and it really reminded me of a show I used to watch called 'Forensic Files'. Listening to the Christie Mullins episode along with seeing the pictures from the case definitely grabbed my attention, as I could match a face to a name being discussed. I definitely enjoyed listening to this podcast, great work.

    Hey Kaileigh, great job with your initial post, I enjoyed learning about one of your hobbies! Your post stood out to me in particular because I can relate to it. As a student working in law enforcement, I have always had a passion for criminology and law, so I would definitely consider myself a fan of podcasts. One specific podcast I listen to often is True Crime. Similar to you, I find myself listening to podcasts when I have long drives, walks, and sometimes when I am getting ready. I actually find listening to 911 calls very interesting, and since we seem to have that in common, I have to recommend one of my favourite shows called "911." If you haven't already watched it you should totally check it out.

    Hi Kaileigh, as someone who finds true crime interesting, while highly disturbing, but doesn't listen to podcasts on it, your post was very eye-opening. I didn't know the podcast has prompted listeners to help with unsolved cases, that's very cool! I wonder how the Crime Junkies podcast hosts verify the accuracy of the information found by listeners?

  There is a Spotify playlist called “Homegrown” which I listen to very often because of the amount of artists and their songs that are included in it. I am a big fan of country music and the playlist contains many of the artists that I enjoy, such as Sam Barber, Zach Bryan, Josh Meloy, etc. This playlist has a variety of different types of songs that I would listen to while completing many tasks throughout the day. I like to listen to a pretty wide range of songs and “Homegrown” is a great playlist for that. I know many people here do not listen to country music, but if so, I really recommend this playlist!

      In the movie Eighth grade it follows a young girl by the name of Kayla who is having a hard time not only fitting in with her peers at school, but also has trouble fitting in online as well. Kayla demonstrates a high degree of social anxiety, and it is very evident she just wants people to like her. Kayla, with limited people to talk too and virtually no friends, leans on creating YouTube videos in order to connect with others. Kayla's videos consist of her providing advice to her viewers, such as how to always be confident, and tips on how to socialize to others, things that she has no real experience in. These videos give Kayla a way to connect to not only her peers but other people around the world, and also give her something to feel good about as she's helping others. Kayla also adds to her anxiety by constantly scrolling though social media, and ignoring things such as her father trying to talk to her. Scrolling through social media has Kayla compar...

  I have always taken interest in other people's lifestyles and why and how they and how they have accepted to live a certain way.  Recently I have found out about this  YouTube creator by the name of Tyler Oliveria.  Tyler goes to these places where there are a lot of issues and documents as well as interviews the people that live in these communities.  Tyler gives insights but also figures out why things are the way they are from the people that live in the unfortunate situations.  I have always found this kind of content interesting because I wondered why people live certain ways  but through the content I have realized that it is not always a choice and people get put into bad situations.  The link to his YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@TylerOliveira where you can watch and find his videos.
