About this listen

Operation Evil Podcast started in July of 2021. The first three years were hosted by Nyoka & Rachael (old friends who lost touch but were brought back together 20 years later). After some life changes, Rachael had to step away.

After a few months of hosting solo, Nyoka welcomed Megan to Operation Evil! Megan co-hosted for 10 months to help out. Thank you so much Megan!

Now as Operation Evil continues to grow, Nyoka will be hosting solo but having friends come on to guest co-host. This will bring many new vibes and excitement to the podcast!


Operation Evil is so thankful for our listeners and the guests we have had on the podcast. Thank you all for being here through it all!

A True Crime Podcast hosted by Nyoka.
