PODCASTONE has debuted a new entry in the true crime podcast genre, "THE FIRST DEGREE," hosted and produced by true crime TV show producer ALEXIS LINKLETTER, writer BILLY JENSEN, and "LADYGANG" podcast co-host JAC VANEK. The new series, posting its first episode TODAY (8/15) with a look at the murder of a model by a reality show participant, tells crime stories through the eyes of someone with one degree of separation from the crime.
“I’ve always been a true crime buff and armchair detective, so teaming up with ALEXIS LINKLETTER and her mentor BILLY JENSEN for this podcast is an absolute dream come true,” said VANEK. “The FIRST DEGREE is conversational and will feel like you’re discussing these crazy stories with your friends over a glass of wine…except my friends both happen to be true crime professionals!”
PODCASTONE Chairman and CEO NORM PATTIZ said, “We’ve had such a great experience working with JAC on LADYGANG that when she came to us with this idea, we were more than receptive. Now that I’ve heard the first episode, I’m absolutely convinced that greenlighting THE FIRST DEGREE was a no-brainer. With BILLY and ALEXIS, JAC’s put together a great team with the kind of experience and credibility that you need for this kind of podcast. Thumbs up.”
