Hi listeners, and welcome to a special month here on the show.

This is Takeover Month.

Every December, we look back at our best serial killers episodes of the year.

But this year, we wanted to share our favorite episodes from across the true crime community

and highlight incredible voices that had us hooked in 2025.

This week, we're sharing an episode from Heart Starts Pounding hosted by Kaylin Moore.

We are huge fans.

Every week, Kaylin expertly dives into horrors, hauntings, and mysteries.

tossing of exhausted sleep, not the shallow breathing visible in the other men. He's completely still.
