Fruitloops is a weekly podcast where two true crime enthusiasts bring you stories about people of color who rarely get media coverage - bringing diversity to the true crime conversation.
In this special bonus episode, Wendy and Beth talk to Kat J of azdeathpenalty.org and Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona, a non-profit educational organization working to inform the public about the injustices surrounding the death penalty and the criminal punishment system.
The conversation was so interesting, we split it into two parts. This is part 1.
This episode was edited by Minnie Williams.

Back in July, Fruitloops Video Club reviewed the the 1995 road comedy, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, starring Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze, and John Leguizamo.
Synopsis:
"Three drag queens travel cross-country until their car breaks down, leaving them stranded in a small town.
Written by Douglas Carter Beane, who was inspired by an anti-gay propaganda film called The Gay Agenda. Of that film, Beane said, "There's a scene where they show drag queens going through a town, and the narrator is warning the viewers that these people will take over your town, and I thought, Well, that would be fun."
