Red Herrings
Where history gets messy and the law gets loud.
Brittany and Joccoaa take turns serving up shocking crimes and unforgettable legal battles. One brings the past, the other brings the courtroom — and together, they bring the chaos.
It’s smart, a little unhinged, and full of twists you won’t see coming.

Welcome to Red Herrings!
This week, Brittany unpacks the peculiar demise of a writer you’ve almost certainly heard of...strange circumstances, conflicting reports, and a mystery that’s never quite been solved.
We’re talking about Edgar Allan Poe, whose death is just as haunting as his stories.
Hosted by: Brittany Warren & Joccoaa Gray
