We Thought You Asked: A True Crime-ish Podcast
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Hosts and sisters, Torie and Kelly, love sharing their opinions on hot topics and scammy crimes. Each week on We Thought You Asked, you'll hear their differing opinions on life, scams, cults, pop culture, recent news, and various other topics. It's a true crime podcast with a twist (and an unspoken ethics code). You can expect a lot of laughs, mental health chatter, and varying perspectives from the sisters' very different approaches to life. And hey, we thought you asked! Just a quick disclaimer: while T’s a therapist, and we discuss mental health topics on the show, this podcast is NOT therapy or a substitute for therapy. This pod is just for fun, and if you are needing some extra support, we really encourage you to a contact a licensed therapist near you.
