Welcome to Sinisterhood in our conversation with series. Today's guest is somebody who we have admired for years.

It's ABC 2020 correspondent Chris Connolly. Chris has been telling powerful human-centered stories for decades.

From his days profiling the world's biggest stars at Rolling Stone and MTV to his in-depth sports reporting at ESPN to his current work on true

crime cases. He's covered everything from the Olympics to high-profile criminal cases,

always with his trademark mix of insight, respect, and depth. And now he's the host of

cold-blooded mystery in Alaska, a gripping new podcast about the killing of Dr. Eric Garcia in Ketchikan, Alaska.

Dr. Garcia's story is heartbreaking, and Chris approaches it with compassion, detail, and a clear

focus on the victim and those who loved him. We had such a great time talking with Chris about the

You were the, you were the voice of news for me in my formative years. So, you. Well, I was I was one of the voices,

probably. One of the voices. I always thought of myself more as the uncle in the sitcom,

who was next door, who came in an election on the family every now and then, the Bill Daly

kind of of address. So, you know, while, while the young people really

had a good time. But we did have as much fun as it looked like we were having.

Oh, we all have our roles. Well, if you all not familiar, or you're not from the States,

perhaps, but Chris is currently with ABC News, but he's interviewed, actors, filmmakers,
