This Feels Criminal: A True Crime Pod...

There’s always more to the story. We grew up on Dateline, survived the era of AOL chatrooms, and now we’re asking the deeper, more difficult questions. Formerly known as Killer Queens, Tyrella and Nikita return with This Feels Criminal—a thoughtful evolution of the true crime conversation for an audience that’s grown up right alongside us.

The Perspective

After eight years and hundreds of cases, Tyrella has undergone a total deconstruction of the genre. Moving from the "if they confessed, they’re guilty" mindset to a deep understanding of systemic failures, her goal is to turn listeners into savvy jurors who know how to look past the surface. She is joined by Nikita, a practicing attorney who provides the legal literacy and technical breakdown needed to navigate the complexities of the justice system.

The Vibe

Think of us as your smart, slightly sarcastic filters for the chaos of all that feels criminal. We aren’t here for the shock value or the sensationalism; we’re here for the nuance. We dive deep into media framing, legal hurdles, and the psychology behind the headlines—all while maintaining an emotionally safe space and that signature dry millennial humor.

What’s In The Feed

From weekly flagship cases and trial analysis to documentary deep-dives, TFC  is a home for the intellectually curious. We believe in education over exploitation and context over clickbait. It’s a research-driven, human-centered look at the stories that feel just a little too criminal to ignore.
