SVU POD: Especially Heinous

Welcome to SVU Pod: Especially Heinous, the podcast where Best Pals/SVU Enthusiasts, Gabe and Tasha recap episodes of everyone's favorite sexually based offense fictional crime drama, Law and Order: Special Victims Unit! But, wait. There are 20 years of episodes! Will you be starting from the pilot? UM, YEAH! Following the recap, we’ll bring you, what we call, our True Crime Chaser. Because Law and Order is “ripped from the headlines”, Tasha will be telling you a true story that relates to the SVU episode, in that it either influenced the episode or is similar in content. Thanks for listening! Love you, bye!
