the (musical) Memoirs of a Murder

By: The HUB Collective
  • Summary

  • Three friends - Alex, Charlotte, and Conner - start a podcast to cover their favorite stories involving true crime, survivorship, and heroism. The dive into these all-too-relevant cases brings to light their past trauma and the injustices they have faced and they discover first-hand what it means to be a hero. For the past year, over 20+ artists have been hard at work creating a musical audio drama entitled the (musical) Memoirs of a Murder. As a writing team, a group of artists collectively brought their favorite true crime cases to the table. With a lead writer for each episode, the team wrote a 6-episode series surrounding a group of friends and their quest to start their own podcast to tell these stories intentionally.

    the (musical) Memoirs of a Murder - Tamla Horsford

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:

    We tune back into the lives of our three “Prime Time Crime Time” podcasters; Charlotte reveals to her friends that she did not receive the promotion at work and Conner opens up about hanging out with his new friend, Mitchell, to which the girls express their concern. This week, Alex brings in the case of Tamla Horsford, a black woman who attended an otherwise all-white sleepover in Forsyth County, Georgia, and was found dead the next morning in the backyard. The three discuss the suspicious accounts from the sleepover attendees and raise important questions that are still trying to be answered today.
