About
The Story Behind
the Podcast
How a married couple’s disagreement about true crime turned into one of the most popular podcasts in the genre.
How It Started
When Payton and Garrett Moreland were married, they came to an impasse. Payton is obsessed with true crime. She consumes every documentary, podcast, and book she can find. Garrett? He hates it. He never wanted to talk about the stories.
The only way to solve this issue? Start a podcast about it, of course. What began as a fun experiment between husband and wife has grown into a show with over 300 episodes and millions of dedicated listeners.
Each episode, Payton presents a carefully researched true crime case while Garrett reacts and engages, bringing a unique dynamic that listeners have grown to love. It’s true crime told through the lens of a real relationship.
