True Crime Conversations: Feat Lanie Hobbs, Gillian Pensavalle & Alvin Williams

From the outside, the world of true crime podcasting may seem small. Once you are in it, you realize how expansive, diverse, and deeply personal the landscape really is. In this special conversation, Lanie sits down with two standout creators in the genre: Gillian Pensavalle from True Crime Obsessed and Alvin Williams from Affirmative Murder. The three explore their individual journeys into podcasting, what inspired them, what keeps them going, and how their approaches, audiences, and storytelling styles differ while still sharing a commitment to intentional and ethical true crime storytelling. You will hear about the importance of community, the influence of personal backgrounds on the way we cover crime, and how authenticity becomes a bridge between creator and listener. Whether you are discovering these creators for the first time or have followed their work for years, this conversation offers a look behind the microphone and into the heart of what motivates us to tell these stories with care.
