Summary

Welcome to the final installment of True Story Media Presents! This week Andrea is talking to Wendy and Beth, the creators behind Fruitloops: Serial Killers of Color. The three of them chat about how they first met and what drove Wendy and Beth to dive into true crime podcasting. They reflect on the shared thread of how cultural and societal ideals shape policy and how that engages with true crime. Wendy and Beth share what they hope listeners take away from their podcast. They also touch on the case of Antoinette Frank—a New Orleans police officer turned murderer. *** Listen to Fruitloops: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fruitloops-serial-killers-of-color/id1400426755 Listen to Antoinette Frank: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e80-antoinette-frank/id1400426755 Order Andrea’s book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.

0:00.0	True Story Media.
0:09.4	Hello, it's Andrea, and today we're bringing you the fourth and final installment in our True Story Media Present series.
0:16.2	Thank you so much for showing these shows some love.
0:18.7	It has been so wonderful for me to work with and be in
0:21.6	community with all these fantastic creators. These are scary times, friends, and it's more
0:27.9	important than ever to be in community with one another, however you can. Talking to real people
0:33.1	in person whenever possible is a useful ballast against the tidal waves of scary news,
0:38.7	especially as the information that we get becomes less and less trustworthy.
0:42.9	Listen, I know we're all busy, and especially if you're a working parent like me,
0:46.9	it can feel really easy to just hole up.
0:49.1	But it's more important than ever to make some time for community building,
0:52.6	whether that's organizing, volunteering, joining
0:55.5	the PTSA, or just making more of an effort to patronize local businesses and meet your neighbors.
1:00.8	Real world connections are going to help get us through this. And it's also a great time to find
1:05.2	journalists and creators that you love and support their work where you can. Listen to independent
1:09.9	podcasts like the ones in our network.
1:11.9	Support good journalists with substacks. Tune in to your local NPR stations. The media landscape
1:17.0	is going through massive changes right now, and it's gotten very fractured, but there are still so
1:21.6	many people doing great work, and it's more important than ever to do what we can to support.
1:26.1	We will be back next week with our coverage
1:28.0	of the Olivia Gant case, and we've also got our season six mailbag episode coming up, and so much more.
1:34.0	As always, if you want to support this show, the best way to do that is to subscribe on Apple Podcasts
