#126: Bridging Passions: True Crime and Community Involvement with Bonnie

The Commons with Karla

I'm pleased to introduce our guest today, Bonnie Deach. Bonnie, a retired speech pathologist, holds a deep affection for her family, creative undertakings, and quality time spent with friends. She is actively engaged in volunteering within her community and cherishes the moments she can share with her beloved grandson. Additionally, Bonnie has a notable fascination with the realm of crime. Our conversation today delves into the true crime genre, examining what it means to be an enthusiast. We explore whether it's merely a form of entertainment, as some argue, or if there are more profound motivations and narratives behind this interest. This episode is a discussion about stories, conversations, shared passions, and much more. I hope this episode encourages you to dive into what you are passionate about!
