Today I'm releasing an interview with a subscriber from Watts Island who has been drummed into hiding because why? She stated her opinion, and some people didn't like that. In the interview, using an AI reader for her voice to conceal her identity, we talk about how her experience with Watts Island has changed her life and future decisions about social media.

I invited my long-time personal friend to talk to me about the release of Adnan Syed and other cases. We got into true crime at the same time because of this case, so we reminisce about all the twists and turns in the case, and how our minds were changed over time about Adnan's innocence. You'll see that she has a better grasp of the details on the case, and a better memory too.

Enjoy!

Alex Erickson's tenancy on Watts Island started in January 2021 when she hosted an interview with Cherlyn Cadle, the controversial author of two books about Chris Watts. In this interview, Alex talks about how she started in true crime, it felt to be embroiled in the infamous "sex panel scandal," how she decided to go public with information about a Chris Watts impersonator, and how she would do things differently if she could.

The interview is deep, fun and revealing. Enjoy!

It's so easy to get dragged in by social media drama, and it's hard to tell who is or is not reasonable. Today I'm sharing a coping skill I use for people who are unreasonable: Talk To The Hand. It is useless to keep trying with people who are unwilling or incapable of being fair. Life is too short.

About 15 hours ago, famed social media firebrand Gabbie Hanna ended a 24-hour streak of posting over 130 very erratic and difficult to watch TikToks. Her spree ended after a fan/stalker gained entry into her house by pretending to need a bathroom. They created some TikTok's while she was clearly in a euphoric state, then she realized he lied to her and throws him out. There is also speculation that this is a publicity stunt for her new record. I have a lot of thoughts about this entire situation and have tried to condense it as much as possible.

Sometimes we just have to recognize hard realities, and the hard reality about social media is that friendships are a set-up for failure on social media. In this podcast, I go through how and why. --------------- Twitter/IG: @CheckmateHuman Email: checkmatehumanity@gmail.com --------------- Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.

This is an unscripted and lightly edited stream of consciousness about how liberating it is to feel actual love and respect for myself. I never, ever thought I would feel love and acceptance of myself, so I am very proud of the work I have done to get to a place to tell anyone who listens to this podcast how and why that happened. I’s a vulnerable thing to do, but if I didn’t love myself, I would never be able to survive on social media. So this is for anyone who wants to take a very personal step in learning how it is possible to stop worrying every day about what is said about you. We will never escape other people’s criticism, so we might as well learn how to deal with it without disrupting our own peace of mind. And make no mistake, I do not feel this love and respect for a person I’ve *pretended* to be. I love and respect myself for the person I know I am. I pray that anyone out there who loathes themselves as much as I once disregarded myself will learn the luxurious freedom of worry about what other people think. --------------- Twitter/IG: @CheckmateHuman Email: checkmatehumanity@gmail.com --------------- Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research.
