Episode 70: Minisode 10 - The Murder of Valentina...

Dark and Devious ·

2022/07/14

The idea behind trash streaming simple: invite a few friends over, get drunk, start a live broadcast and ask viewers to donate in exchange for carrying out the dares they suggest. What really drives trash streams into a subject of concern is the type of dares suggested and carried out. For Valentina Grigoyeva, the dares and requests would unfortunately cost her her life, and at the hands of her lover and boyfriend. --- Support this podcast:
