On this True Crime episode of Origin of Speakcies, the guys chat with the creator and host of Sword and Scale, Mike Boudet. Mike chats about the inception of Sword and Scale, some of the controversies surrounding him and the show, and why we should be paying closer attention to Don Johnson.

But first, Scott and Steve take a look at the history of our fascination with True Crime, from its origins in the Ming Dynasty, to Truman Capote, to 48 Hours Mystery and beyond. They also talk about the reasons why we love True Crime, but also some of its criticisms, before getting into a lively discussion with Mike. Please enjoy this episode and, most importantly, stay safe.
