Hello Heroine with Annie Earnshaw

This week, I'm talking with the host of Authentically Em (and my friend from college) Emily Sanderson!  We chat about our post-grad lives, Emily's transition to grad school, and how 2020 and eating disorder recovery inspired her to be more authentic on the internet.  Emily also shares her rule of thumb for when to add to social justice conversations online versus when to take a backseat. .

In this episode, join me as I interview the queen of true crime TikTok, Haley Toumaian aka @RobandHaley! Haley gained traction on TikTok during her coverage of the unsolved case of Gabby Petito and has since dedicated her platform to being a “voice for the voiceless.” Haley and I talk about her true crime “origin story,” the case that got her into true crime, and how her views of the genre have shifted since she became a content creator. Haley also discusses why she's passionate about using social media as a tool to bring justice to unsolved cases. We break down where the line is between education and entertainment and how you can ethically get involved with true crime. (CW: We don't discuss any cases in explicit detail, but if you're sensitive to true crime, missing person cases, and unsolved cases, I would recommend listening to other episodes of Hello Heroine instead.)

In this episode, the lovely Mackenzie Newcomb of @BadBitchBookClub, @MackInStyle, and the Friends to Lovers Podcast joins me for a conversation about the appeal of talking about books online.
