• Crimes and Consequences: The Weirdest Sentences Ever Handed Down // WTF #29

  In today’s episode, Gina and Amber are diving deep into the wild world of creative criminal sentencing. We’re talking bread-and-water diets, lawnmower justice, court-mandated makeovers, and yes—someone actually had to knit sweaters as punishment. From animal neglect to sidewalk-stomping road rage, these stories feature judges who didn’t just throw the book—they rewrote the entire genre. Come for the crimes, stay for the sentencing—and see how these mischief-makers got served a steaming hot plate of poetic justice. Whether it’s jail time in a wig or holding up a sign that screams “I’m an idiot,” you’ll be laughing and lowkey thankful you’ve never crossed paths with these legendary judges. 🧩 Riddle of the Day: “What hired killer never goes to jail?” Stay tuned for the answer! 📢 Follow & Subscribe: Subscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrime Website: www.weirdtruecrime.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrime TikTok: www.tiktok.com/weirdtruecrime YouTube: www.youtube.com/@weirdtruecrime Email: [email protected] Edited by - [email protected] True Crime Podcast Festival 2025 • RSVPify.

• Missing Persons, Advocacy, and Ethics in True Crime with Charlie Shunick

  In this episode, we’re honored to share a powerful conversation with Charlie Shunick — founder of the Resource Association for Missing People, forensic consultant, professor, and passionate advocate for families of the missing. Back in October 2024, G attended the virtual Cold Case Symposium — a meaningful event that brings together families of unsolved homicide and missing persons cases from across the country. It was there she heard Charlie speak, and the impact of her words was immediate and emotional. Charlie’s heartfelt presentation on the harms of exploitative true crime content and the importance of ethical storytelling struck a deep chord. We knew then that we had to invite her on the show. Charlie brings a unique and invaluable perspective to this conversation. Her sister, Mickey Shunick, was tragically taken in 2012 — a loss that fuels the deeply personal work she does today. From founding her own resource organization and consulting company to teaching forensic science and maintaining a body farm (for animals!), Charlie is dedicated to making a difference both in and out of the classroom. This conversation is thoughtful, moving, and a must-listen for anyone who creates, consumes, or shares true crime content. 📢 Follow & Subscribe: Subscribe on Patreon: www.patreon.com/weirdtruecrime Website: www.weirdtruecrime.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/weirdtruecrime TikTok: www.tiktok.com/weirdtruecrime YouTube: www.youtube.com/@weirdtruecrime Email: [email protected] Edited by - [email protected]
