Foul Play: A Historical True Crime Podcast

Shane L. Waters, Wendy Cee

Booking Overview

This is a solo-led historical true-crime podcast focused on carefully researched murder cases from the 19th and early 20th centuries, with only occasional conversational appearances rather than a regular external-guest format. Credible pitches would center on historians, criminal-justice or forensic-history experts, archival researchers, victim advocates, and individuals directly connected to a featured case, but booking is likely very difficult because guest interviews are not the show's primary structure.
