48:58

This week, dear listeners, we're diving into a topic that is the epitome of pathetic - killers who can't even murder in an original way.

51:58

This week, Twisted Listeners, we take a look at a few infuriating cases of false confessions. Of all the topics we've covered, few have had so many stories to choose from, which was both fun for research, and upsetting to know so many people got to prison for no reason at all, sometimes for their entire lives.

We're back this week, dear twisted listeners, with a classic topic we are shocked we've never covered: killer truckers!
