True Crime, Why is it a Suburban Wife Obsession?
This week on Listen, Here’s the Thing, Katie and Meko are back and catching up on all things midlife happenings, pop culture, and true crime obsession - with a side of canning apples and influencer swag bags. Weekend Catch-Up: Meko hit UofM Homecoming while Katie went full Little House on the Prairie - making applesauce, baking, and channeling her cozy-core era. They recap Love Is Blind Season 9, Dancing with the Stars (bye, Lauren from Fifth Harmony), and Katie’s latest Freida McFadden thriller, The Boyfriend. Oh My Gawd... We’re Influencers?! The ladies attended their first influencer event and are here to talk about their newfound love for the Michigan Farmer. It was like going on the best school field trip, but you get to come home with a great swag bag. True Crime Obsession : Why are women over 40 obsessed with true crime? Is crime really increasing, or just amplified by the internet? Katie and Meko dive into the wildest cases they can’t stop Googling - from Sonam Kshatriya to Ellen Greenberg - and what fuels our fascination. Reddit Hot Take: “My neighbor kept checking on me... so I gave his wife a reason to check on him.” Would you do the same? The internet’s favorite revenge story has us asking - when is petty justice actually just perfect?
What We’re Loving: Meko’s new lip gloss obsession and Katie’s Dashing Diva Semi-Cure Gel Nail Kit - because true crime is better with a good mani.
