True Crime XS is a weekly true crime talk show with your hosts Meg and John. Together, they like to talk true crime and poke holes in well known cases, while dissecting and recounting cases that have never made their way off of the court documents page. Why are we all so fascinated by True Crime? What aren't the main stream media and talking heads telling us? Who missed a major thing in a case that would turn the whole thing on it's head? True Crime XS (pronounced EXCESS) digs deep into the annals of courthouse basements and in the dark parts of the human mind to bring you a unique, one of a kind true crime talk show from thoughtful and intelligent hosts and producers. This is THE True Crime show for enthusiasts who are pretty sure they've heard it all. There's one more thing...and that thing is: True Crime XS.
