About this listen

This week on Spilling the Tea, your two Nashville besties dive into one of the most disturbing true crime cases in American history: Ed Gein, the man who inspired horror icons like Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs.

But here’s the thing — Netflix and pop culture love to paint him as this unstoppable, bloodthirsty monster… and the truth is way more complicated (and somehow, even creepier).

We’re breaking down what really happened vs what’s been exaggerated for entertainment and while we’re unpacking the “monster,” we also have to ask — why are we so obsessed with him? Why do we binge this stuff in the dark like it’s self-care? And… are we the true monsters for turning real tragedy into entertainment?

Expect spooky details, lots of side tangents (because we cannot stay focused), and the kind of existential dread that only true crime can serve.
