True Crime & Knit invites listeners to indulge in their knitting (or their vice of choice), as they listen to host Safiyyah Talley (The Drunk Knitter) tell lesser known stories that involve people of color and lgbtq+ voices. Safiyyah will often be joined by leaders in the knitting industry, who will react to the story and share their own conclusions. Also during the show, Safiyyah and her guests will have an intermission (a knitter-mission) where they discuss knitting projects and current events in the knitting world.
