Mash True Crime: 'Is doing episodes about my death row boyfriend a conflict of interest?'

Jade Grimes, an amateur podcaster with a penchant for true crime, is caught in a unique dilemma. She's producing episodes about her boyfriend, Joe, who happens to be on death row. How did they meet, you ask? Not through Tinder, but through a podcast episode where Joe was initially introduced as 'Joseph Turner, convicted spree killer.'

Jade recounts how their relationship blossomed from a professional inquiry to a personal connection, all through the power of snail mail and Joe's quirky handwriting. Despite the grim circumstances, Joe assures Jade of his innocence, attributing his criminal record to a mix of bad luck and being high at the wrong time.

Jade has visited Joe in Alabama multiple times, where their romance unfolds behind glass under the watchful eyes of prison guards. She's determined to use her podcast to exonerate Joe, dreaming of a future together in a trailer with a Doberman named AK-47.

Jade urges listeners to join her cause with a social media campaign, using the hashtag #DontLetJoeFry, in hopes of finding justice for Joe and unmasking the real culprits behind the crimes he's accused of.
