Side Notes

“Some stories need a deeper dive. Others are worth stopping to look at while they’re still unfolding.”

Side Notes are shorter, more casual Pretty Evil episodes focused on a specific question, developing case, recent crime story, or piece of true-crime conventional wisdom. They might break down an investigative practice, examine a common assumption, or look at an active case while the facts are still emerging. The format is flexible, but the goal stays the same: give the story enough context and scrutiny to understand what actually matters.
