23. The ethics of true crime (w/ Haley Toumaian, Co-Host of Inhuman)
In this episode, join me as I interview the queen of true crime TikTok, Haley Toumaian aka @RobandHaley! Haley gained traction on TikTok during her coverage of the unsolved case of Gabby Petito and has since dedicated her platform to being a “voice for the voiceless.”
Haley and I talk about her true crime “origin story,” the case that got her into true crime, and how her views of the genre have shifted since she became a content creator.
Haley also discusses why she’s passionate about using social media as a tool to bring justice to unsolved cases. We break down where the line is between education and entertainment and how you can ethically get involved with true crime.
(CW: We don’t discuss any cases in explicit detail, but if you’re sensitive to true crime, missing person cases, and unsolved cases, I would recommend listening to other episodes of Hello Heroine instead.)
Cases discussed in this episode:
Kristin Smart
Jon-Benet Ramsey
Jayna Murray (The Lululemon Murder)
Israel Keyes
The Hillside Strangler
Green River Killer
Ted Bundy

In this episode, the lovely Mackenzie Newcomb of @BadBitchBookClub, @MackInStyle, and the Friends to Lovers Podcast joins me for a conversation about the appeal of talking about books online. With the rise of the pandemic and a reason to stay home on a Friday night, readers old and new are turning to online book clubs, Bookstagram, and Booktok to discuss all things reading. Mackenzie and I talk about why this shift is happening and how online reading communities have changed the way we read offline.
