To watch any of the true-crime episodes, join me at Panic on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK4r13FF8ExLGbhfSH6i4hwA little bit about Panic.I created this true-crime channel to focus on the life and death of queer folk. I called the channel Panic because, for much more of the recorded history of LGBTQ+ people, there's always been a panic. The primary focus of the channel is an investigation of homophobia through hate crimes murders and intimate partner violence which is underreported in the queer community. Panic is both a podcast and a YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/@panicqueertruecrimeSometimes being queer can be murder. Join me!Check out the first two seasons of the podcast for a little something different.
