Wendy and Beth are the two mysterious women behind Fruitloops - Serial Killers of Color podcast. Fruitloops was created over their love of true podcasts and their realization that the true crime space was lacking diverse female voices, as well as the diverse stories.  Rather than waiting for that kind of show to magically appear, they decided to create it themselves. In July of 2018, they launched the podcast and 100+ episodes later, are still going strong. As a duo, they host, produce, and manage all the things for the pod. Fruitloops:  Serial Killers of Color has been featured in The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar, Parade Magazine and Murder Murder News. Even though their show is HIGHLY successful, they maintain their anonymity! Even while being interviewed on camera! Wendy is an African American/Latinx queer millennial and Beth is a GenXer and the show's resident OG of true crime, who just happens to be white. It is HIGHLY recommended, you go to YouTube and watch the video of this interview. View the video here.
