## Resource

In this episode of Conversate with Killer Mike, Killer Mike, Cutmaster Swiff, and Bear sit down with Payne Lindsey, creator of Tenderfoot TV, for a wide ranging conversation on true crime, truth seeking, and the responsibility that comes with telling real stories. Payne breaks down how a DIY podcast helped reopen a cold case, what it means to investigate crimes the system failed to solve, and how empathy, trust, and patience can lead people to reveal what they have been carrying for years. The group dives deep into the Atlanta Child Murders, Payne’s conversations with Wayne Williams, the role of race and class in unsolved cases, and the emotional toll of living inside other people’s trauma while chasing the truth. This episode moves between investigative storytelling, Atlanta history, moral responsibility, and the human need to be heard. It is a raw, thoughtful look at what happens when art, journalism, and justice collide.
