I'm beyond thrilled to be able to share this little sneak peek of a project I've been working on for the last few months!
Back in the spring of 2020, as the world was shutting and COVID-19 restrictions were making travel impossible, I was looking for a way to keep putting out content despite NOT being able to go to Las Vegas and I had an idea to do a Vegas history podcast. I'd already done several episodes about Vegas history, but I thought it would be cool to take deep dives into specific stories.
At the time, I was binge-listening to a show called Disgraceland, a very cool music history podcast with an incredibly distinct sound...it was like a documentary but not a "boring documentary"; it had music, sound effects, and vocal effects. Disgraceland told the story in a really unique way that kept me engaged and wanting more.
That was the Las Vegas history podcast I wanted to do.
From that, Sin City Stories was born.
After the world opened up and I began traveling to Vegas again, I got back to releasing regular episodes of Jeff Does Vegas and, after 7 episodes, I put Sin City Stories on hiatus.
But there was still interest in the show; people were still listening to it and every so often, I'd get emails asking if I had plans to release new episodes.
Flash forward to August 2023 and a conversation I had with Meagan & Anthony Smith, the creators of Mayhem In The Desert, a Vegas-focused true crime website. We'd spoken numerous times before and every time we talked, we'd say, "We NEED to collaborate on something."
And now, it's finally happening!
Welcome to the world of Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime!
Take a listen to this snippet of the first episode, "Taken - The Kim Bryant Murder".
And mark your calendars for January 1st, 2024...that's when the first complete episode of Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime will be released.
