<p>A quick update and some thanks! </p><br><p><strong>Over the past 12 months... </strong>Canadian True Crime has had the opportunity to take on several meaningful projects alongside the usual podcast production. These included the <a href="https://www.canadiantruecrime.ca/breaking-idol-press" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CBC documentary <em>Breaking Idol</em>,</a> the co-founding of <a href="https://www.beyondtheverdict.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Beyond The Verdict</a> survivor-led advocacy group, and in-depth coverage of <a href="https://www.canadiantruecrime.ca/episodes/191" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the 2025 Hockey Canada trial</a>. While incredibly rewarding, the extra activities made for a very intense year behind the scenes. After the recent Robert Pickton series ended, it became clear we needed to pause, step back and reset things. </p><p>Your support by listening to the podcast is what makes all of this work possible, so this year we're focusing on getting the podcast back into balance for sustainability.</p><br><p><strong>New episodes will return in April. </strong>Until then, we'll be replaying a few carefully selected episodes from our archive with new personal introductions from Kristi. </p><p>Thank you again for listening and supporting the show! Your patience and understanding is appreciated.</p><br><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.canadiantruecrime.ca/breaking-idol-press" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Breaking Idol</a> - new CBC TV documentary </p><p><a href="https://www.beyondtheverdict.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Beyond The Verdict</a> - new survivor-led advocacy group</p><p><a href="https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/10/24/clinging-to-hope" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mysterious letter - Beverley Rowbotham's family</a> believes it could shed light on the case (25th anniversary)</p><p>Guest appearances:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MTYCkGBk6M" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CTV – The Social</a> - with co-hosts Melissa Grelo and Jess Allan about survivor-centered storytelling, deep research, and the Jacob Hoggard case</p><p><a href="https://www.soundoffpodcast.com/krisiti-lee-canadian-true-crime-at-episode-200" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Soundoff Podcast</a> - with host Matt Cundill&nbsp;about the business side of podcasting and more</p><p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5CcL6cyvQM4wC3mTyg0KSo?si=Q7BVBk7RR02R1rFM-1eoCg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Broadcast Dialogue </a> - Kristi shares the ups and downs of her podcasting journey with host Connie Thiessen, including managing burnout and perfectionism...</p><p>Special thanks to <a href="https://castbox.fm/channel/Canadian-True-Crime-id4844150?country=ca" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Castbox </a>and <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/canadian-true-crime/id1197095887" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a>.</p><br><p><strong>More information about Canadian True Crime:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Visit <a href="http://canadiantruecrime.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">canadiantruecrime.ca</a> or follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/canadiantruecrimepod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram </a>or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/canadiantruecrime/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
