Let’s talk about one of our favorite people who also happens to do one of our favorite podcasts. Obviously, I’m talking about Jayson Blair and his show, The Silver Linings Handbook!

You probably recognize Jayson’s name because we’ve been on his show and he’s been on ours, to talk about true crime ethics and the media. He’s always got thoughtful insights to share. Plus, he’s got all kinds of ideas on how to make true crime a more respectful, compassionate space.

We always want to hear more from him. Well, we’re in luck. And so are you!

Jayson runs the Silver Linings Handbook, a terrific weekly podcast. It’s interview-centric. Each week, you get to hear Jayson’s in-depth conversations with inspiring people. We’re talking about conversations about well-being, mental health, the law and criminal justice system, true crime, religion, and marginalized communities. For all you true crime fans, he's had on the hosts of The Prosecutors andThe Consult as well as leaders in business, journalism, and law.

Jayson is a wonderful person with a seemingly endless well of compassion and empathy for others. That serves him quite well as an interviewer. We were really gripped by his recent conversations with the daughter of a murdered police detective, the sister of a missing Native woman in Montana, and Gabby Petito’s father, Jim Schmidt. These were all humanistic and in-depth talks that got to the heart of topics like grief, advocacy, and abuse.

We’ve always enjoyed our conversations with Jayson on the Silver Linings Handbook and behind the scenes. Getting to listen to his show is like dropping by for one of those talks. We think Murder Sheet listeners will really enjoy it.
