Every Monday night at 7 PM Eastern Time, the airwaves ignite on The Playa Entertainment Network with a true crime podcast like no other. Blending the grit of pro wrestling legends with the intrigue of real-life criminal cases, this powerhouse panel isn’t here to sugarcoat a thing — they’re here to break it down, brawl with the facts, and throw a few well-timed jabs of comedy along the way. At the helm is ”Boston Bad Girl” Brittany Brown, a New England Professional Wrestling Hall of Famer whose fearless persona in the ring matches her tenacious dive into every crime story. She brings raw emotion, unfiltered insight, and the kind of no-nonsense commentary that keeps listeners hooked from the first 911 call to the final gavel drop. Joining her is Benny ”The Playa” Scala, a seasoned wrestling author and podcasting pro whose smooth delivery and sharp wit cut through the chaos. Whether he’s dissecting motives or calling out media missteps, Benny brings street smarts, storytelling savvy, and a little Playa flair to every episode. And don’t forget the dynamic father-daughter duo: ”Dangerous Dave” Star, a New England wrestling legend with a voice made for late-night radio and a brain wired for forensic detail, and ”The Genius” Tiffany Star, whose razor-sharp intellect and keen observational skills bring a fresh, analytical edge to the table. Together, they decode timelines, explore criminal psychology, and even challenge the justice system — all with a blend of respect, curiosity, and Star-studded charm. From breaking down the latest jaw-dropping headlines to revisiting the most infamous crimes of the past, this is true crime done differently. The team doesn’t just tell the stories — they dig deep, ask the hard questions, and, when needed, call BS on the cover-ups. True Crime With The Bad Girl, The Playa & The Stars isn’t just a podcast — it’s a ringside seat to the dark side of human nature, told by voices who’ve seen plenty of fights… and know how to win ’em.
