As busy true crime podcasters covering so many cases, we have to make a pretty strenuous effort to clean our house at the end of the day — that’s frankly time we could spend unwinding and relaxing after a day spent in court or on the phone wrangling FOIA records.

That’s why we find our wonderful new sponsor Homeaglow so amazing. Homeaglow is a top-rated home service platform. They’re all about making your space clean and tidy. Say you’ve got a special occasion or party coming up. Their online booking capabilities ensure you can hop on there, schedule a cleaner in an instant. They’re affordable, convenient, and sometimes so necessary for beating the stress around house cleaning.

Then there’s one less thing for you to have to manage. It’s peace of mind. Because you know you’re getting a cleaner who’s passed a rigorous certification process — these cleaners all have to maintain a 4.8 star average. Oh, and 100% of all the cleaning fees and tips you pay go directly to your cleaner. You’ll be supporting workers in your community.

Here’s how it works. You hop on Homeaglow’s website. You lock down a date and time, and duration of the cleaner. Then you match with a cleaner. It’s great for those last-minute tidying sessions before a big event or your friends stopping by. But you can also book in advance just to get that squared away. Homeaglow provides you with reviews and pictures for each of your background-checked cleaners.

Then if you’re looking to save money and start up a long-term relationship, opting for a ForeverClean Membership lets you save $30 an hour on all future cleanings. You can book unlimited cleanings starting at $19 an hour, to ensure your house gets clean and stays clean.

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.
