A Good Girl’s Guide to True Crime: A Review of True Crime Podcasts and Where to Find Them
Most people find the topics of murder, torture, and kidnapping absolutely horrifying and avoid them at all costs. But there are some outliers, like me, that are fascinated by true crime. Before anyone freaks out, a human's interest in true crime and horror is a completely normal and non-psychotic thing. Studies show that true crime dramas give us an insight into our culture as well as addressing our anxieties and fears. By watching true crime dramas, we unlock our natural desire to solve puzzles and mysteries and get to speculate as to why criminals may act the way they do. So, for all you true crime lovers out there, I figured it would be helpful to compile a list of true crime podcasts and give you all a little preview of them, so you know what you want to listen to.
I will be rating 5 different true crime podcasts on a scale of 5 stars. These ratings are based on different features for each podcast such as episode lengths, personality of hosts, accurate research on a variety of topics, individuality, and accessibility. Before we begin, I want to reiterate that these ratings and reviews are based on my own opinion and listening experiences. I am in no way trying to discredit or dishonor the work or reputation of these podcasts and podcasters, this is simply my opinion. I hope this true crime podcast compilation introduces you all to some innovative ideas, informs you of some new mysteries, and sparks your interest in the victims of these crimes in a way that honors them and is respectful to their families. So, without further ado, let the reviews begin!
Getting the Best Price for College Textbooks
By Morgan Jacobus, Editor in Chief
Not only can college be really expensive, but on top of tuition there is the additional expense of course materials. However, for the 2022-23 academic year, textbook acquisition looks different for Regis students. Earlier this summer, Regis students received an email regarding the new endeavor to make textbooks more affordable through Regis’ partnership with their bookstore vendor, Follett.
Through this new program, Regis students are charged a flat $35 per credit hour fee, and in return will receive their course materials through mail or bundled and ready at the Ranger Station Bookstore. It is worth noting that this program may not include all academic programs, such as nursing. Further, there is the option to opt out of the program, which may be in the best interest of many Regis students.
