True-crime verdicts, debate nights and divorce, talked through frankly.
LeeshCast moves between courtrooms, screen dramatizations and the host's own life, reacting to the Michelle Troconis guilty verdict, the Netflix series Monsters and a Lifetime movie about the Murdaugh murders. It also covers the presidential debates, the psychology of manipulators and, in an episode called 'Divorce', a personal split talked through bluntly.

LeeshCast is a talk show built on reaction, where a guilty verdict, a Netflix series or a debate night becomes the occasion for candid, opinionated talk. True crime sits at the center. The host treats the Michelle Troconis verdict, guilty on all counts, as a real shock and calls the case close to home for many people. The conspiracy to commit murder conviction draws particular surprise. The host also passes along a defense attorney's theory about why the state may have pursued that charge. The episode ends with a sentencing prediction and a wry sign-off: 'don't get in cars with boys.' The Netflix series Monsters brings the host back to recording after time away. The host says the series appeared unexpectedly and stopped everything else. That conversation turns to how parole boards weigh rehabilitation, and it ends with a nudge to watch the actual trial and a hunch that more news on the case is coming. 'The Murdaugh Murders' finds the host in a warm bath with tea, in what the host calls tub sessions, talking through a Lifetime movie watched twice. The film gets teased hard and still earns a recommendation, including its second part and one actor's performance. Politics comes in through the presidential debates. The host dismisses the first Biden-Trump debate as closer to a sketch-comedy bit than a real debate, recalls being shaken to the core on the day Trump was shot at, and expresses respect for what the host sees as a calmer, more focused Trump. That episode ends by urging listeners to look past shallow reasons for backing a candidate, to watch the debates, and to vote. Not every episode is about someone else. 'Divorce' follows a hiatus, and the host offers it in the hope that it comforts others going through the same thing. It talks frankly about anger, broken promises and the moment the rose-colored glasses came off, and the host notes plainly that this is not a psychotherapist's view. 'The Dark Triad 🔺' starts with a quote of the episode about the brave man who overcomes his pleasures as well as his enemies, then moves into Machiavellianism and why covert manipulators may be the most dangerous. Its advice is direct: run from these people, and stay close to the ones who genuinely lift you up. The listening experience is loose and conversational. In more than one episode, the host warns that a dog called 'the assistant' may interrupt, and treats gaps between episodes lightly, including a joke that the next one might not arrive until 2027. Warmth toward listeners runs throughout, especially toward the ones the host calls the diehards. The result is true crime and current events filtered through the host's candid reactions, with the host's own life in plain view.
Made for: Suits a listener who likes hearing a verdict or a true-crime dramatization talked through by someone with strong opinions, and who is happy to follow detours into politics, personal life and a barking dog.
What sets it apart: Where many true-crime shows stick to the case file, LeeshCast gives the host's own life equal billing, with episodes on a divorce and on dark triad personalities alongside the Troconis verdict and the Murdaugh murders. Cases often come in through what the host has been watching, from a Netflix series to a Lifetime movie.

["LeashCast's 'Divorce' is a solo monologue where the host returns after a hiatus, mentions Thanksgiving, and says she wants to speak because other people may need the same honesty.", "She says the marriage broke around communication failures, disrespect, domestic violence, financial abuse, and the feeling of being told almost nothing until the last minute.", "A repeated line anchors the episode: 'if they wanted to, they would,' which she applies to missed support, missed school contact, and more than nine months without an 'I love you.'", "She frames divorce as grief, says forgiveness is for her own peace, and ends by comparing the split to the death of someone you thought was somebody else."]
["LeeshCast's The Murdaugh Murders opens with the host tying the case to discipline, boundaries, and the risk of becoming a sitting duck for manipulation.", "He says Alec Murdoch came from a prosecutor family with unusual pull in a small South Carolina town, and he describes the Murdaugh name as part of a local system of cover-ups and influence.", "The recap follows the boat crash that killed Mallory, the allegations around the younger son's drinking and driving, and the financial crimes tied to client money, credit lines, pills, and gambling.", "He keeps returning to the Lifetime movie, the blue poncho at the kennels, Maggie's killing, and the reopened case tied to Buster as the details that still make the story feel unresolved."]
