What do homemade wine, small town Alberta, and serial killers have in common? 

Carlin Lutzer sits down with Meaghan and Kristy of the Homebrew Murder Crew for a witty, unsettling, and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about true crime. 

From their origins in a Facebook group and a shared Blockbuster past to covering local murders that hit close to home, the trio explores why women are drawn to true crime, how humour makes dark stories more digestible, and where the line is drawn between entertainment and respect for victims. 

The result is a candid look at curiosity, fear, community, and why telling these stories feels both personal and purposeful.
