We are often asked about our favorite true crime podcasts. The Silver Linings Handbook with Jayson Blair is one of our absolute favorites. We follow Jayson’s show religiously. 

Jayson has become a friend of ours and his show is a bright light in the true crime space. Our listeners probably recognize his name because he has been on our show a number of times, and we have been on his as well. 

We think our listeners would love Jayson’s Silver Linings Handbook. He has meaningful and important conversations with people whose lives have been affected by crime. Just recently, he talked to Kimberly Loring on to talk about the disappearance of her sister, Ashley Loring Heavyrunner, a 20-year-old Native woman. Ashley vanished in Montana. Kimberly was able to raise awareness of her sister’s case with Jayson.

Jayson also talked to Jim Schmidt, whose daughter Gabby Petito was murdered. In the middle of the talk, when Jayson brought up a friend suffering abuse, Jim jumped into action to give advice. Or Susan Snow, whose detective father was murdered to prevent him from testifying in a robbery trial. These are gripping conversations that get to the heart of the humans at the center of these crime stories. 

Don’t miss out. Check out this terrific weekly podcast. It’s got plenty of epis
