The Criminology Academy

We're doing things a little differently. We went rogue with no outline and just winged it. Join us as we review our exciting Summer 21 slate if episodes and preview our equally as exciting Fall 21 episodes. We will have a fun time discussing what we've recorded and were we plan on going in the future. It's a good time as we wing it this time with no outline! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter @TheCrimAcademy. Also visit our website The Crim Academy Website.
