The Objectifier and The Short Life of Edward Jockey Smith...

Sean Vincent Gillis was a serial killer who lived with his unsuspecting long-term girlfriend in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He used cable ties to incapacitate his victims, who ranged in age, race and socio-economic stature. This flew in the face of FBI profiling theories at the time, and allowed him to elude capture for over a decade. 

Edward Jockey Smith was short of temper and of stature. A notorious tight ass, Eddie enjoyed a bit of shoplifting armed robbery, drug dealing and murder. His poor impulse control meant Eddie could turn a minor incident into a major spectacle. He was respected by the criminal fraternity, but his habit of waving a gun in peoples faces and shooting at police made him public enemy number one.

Hosted by Tara Sariban and Barney Black, Bloody Murder-A True Crime Podcast digs into the darker corners of history, focusing on crimes that haven't been covered to exhaustion elsewhere. This award-nominated show explores lesser-known cases from Australia and across the globe, offering detailed narratives that are often overlooked. What sets this podcast apart is its unique tone-a blend of deep research and unexpected comedy that arises naturally from the hosts' dynamic and their own perspective as dedicated true crime fans. The humour is careful and considered, never mocking the victims or the gravity of the events discussed. Instead, it's the odd tangent, the personal reaction, or the absurdity surrounding a case that provides a moment of levity, making the exploration of difficult topics more engaging. Listeners will find a conversation that feels like joining two friends who are equally fascinated and critical, dissecting the how and why while treating the subject with respect. Each episode aims to add a fresh voice to the genre, prioritizing stories that are compelling precisely because they aren't the ones you've already heard a dozen times. It’s this commitment to uncovering obscure tales, paired with a genuinely distinctive rapport between the hosts, that defines the experience of this particular true crime podcast.
