On this episode Melissa gets real about a couple of true crime-related issues - one about those delightful folks who use (far too) easy racism as a way to excuse or further their awful or simply stupid deeds - and the other involving the very nature of the True Crime genre itself.  We start off with a silly story from a detective contact Melissa converses with from time to time - involving a car, a gun, an alleged carjacking, a bullet hole in a...er...um...very personal part of the male anatomy - and a "victim" who isn't really a victim at all.  We follow that up with the story of one Hannah Potts, a 23 year-old woman living in rural Gibson County, Indiana - who, with a couple of idiot friends, perpetrated a hoax abduction in which Ms. Potts herself was the "victim," terrifying her family, friends and loved ones, and tying up law enforcement resources for days - all in the cause, evidently, of writing a novel.  Right.  And what do these two stories have in common?  A simple, sad and unfortunately tried-and-true scapegoat - the fictional African-American male with a gun.  Melissa reflects on the evil of this worn out trope - and unleashes on those who continue to use it.  Then - Melissa tackles one of the most nagging criticisms arising out of the popularity of True Crime - is the genre taking advantage of the suffering of victims in the service of entertainment?  Does any actual good comes from it?  Well.  Melissa answers the question with an unequivocal YES - and explains why.  A fascinating and compelling discussion.

Recently, my family of four went on the biggest adventure that we have ever been on. We filmed a television show. I know other families have done this. They've done it longer than us, and they've done it better than us. For us, this was a pretty big deal. From the moment the first crew member showed up at our home, we felt like we were embarking on a journey. I couldn't imagine three other people who I'd rather be on this journey with than David, Remy, and Rocco. On day four, I heard them refer to us as the Core Four. It felt like the four of us were embarking on an adventure that very few people would ever go on. I don’t think I’ve ever felt closer to my Core Four than I did during that time. Today’s episode is all about the Core Four and our adventure. Show Notes: [05:10] Melissa starting doing videos about three or four years ago. We've had a ton of content. It's funny, relatable, and real. Then Melissa's book came out. A production company reached out to us about three years ago. [06:35] They pitched to networks and USA was interested. This show came about because of all of the other stuff that Melissa was doing. We prayed about it and this was a door that stayed open. [07:35] The producers loved Melissa's POV or point of view. It's one that people can identify with. We seemed relatable, because we are. [10:11] David encouraged Melissa to do the videos and to reply to the emails from the production company. [10:34] We said yes to the show, because they liked our point of view and then didn't want us to be any different than we are. [11:13] The mantra for our family is to just go ahead and be courageous. [12:03] We had a real positive feeling about opening things up for other people who feel the same way that we do. Plus, we have a great core four and extended family and friends. [12:47] The Radkes premieres on June 4th on the USA Network on Tuesday nights 9:30 Central. The first three episodes will also be on Hulu, YouTube, and watchback. You'll also be able to find it on other streaming platforms that carry the USA Network. [15:27] The first episode will be released commercial free tonight on Facebook, Instagram or IGTV, and YouTube. [20:58] It's hard to launch a show even if you do have name recognition. The network is trying to get the word out, so please share and enjoy our show. If you want good family-friendly entertainment it's being provided for you. [23:55] Our show is an unscripted family sitcom. There are real life family situations, but they are edited to be pretty fast-paced. [25:28] Remy and Rocco share their opinion on what they think the rest of the family feels about the show. [25:50] We also discuss the impact of the show on Lufkin. It looks great in the videos. [30:08] Remy and Rocco share who their core four friends are, and they can't wait for the show to come out. [31:25] Every Wednesday for the next six weeks we are going to release an after the show podcast. [32:34] Record episodes or season pass and watch it live or the recording in the first three days to help with the ratings. [33:14] For us, this isn't just about getting our name out there, we really want to provide some family entertainment where people can sit down and escape and just laugh. [34:01] Melissa sometimes loses herself watching TV. She hopes people identify with this show and the core four, so that they feel less alone.
