Unlocking Us with Brené Brown

Sinisterhood
True crime comedy podcast, Sinisterhood, is headlining the Dallas Comedy Festival.

Sinisterhood

Dallas-based podcast, Sinisterhood, is a great option for when you need to keep your mind off of things. Hosts Christie Wallace and Heather McKinney are still recording their weekly true crime comedy podcast — from separate locales of course. The two were scheduled to headline the now-postponed headlining Dallas Comedy Festival, but for now, we can still listen to the “funny, creepy, smart ladies” offer well-researched takes on all things sinister.
