About This Podcast

The Trial Watchers podcast is a show about true crime fans, for true crime fans!

Co-hosts Mike Petchenik and Melissa Gordon will bring you stories of passionate trial watchers and learn why they're so into the genre.

Melissa was first sucked into Alex Murdaugh case after traveling to the low country with a friend to shoot some photos for a coffee table book.

Melissa's chance encounter with court clerk Becky Hill led to a roller coaster relationship that resulted in a tell-all book that went viral for all the wrong reasons.

Melissa, her husband Neil, and Mike collaborated with other trial watchers to write a book by the same name.
