PodcastOne teams with writer/director Barbara Schroeder (Netflix's "Evil Genius") to produce and distribute a true crime podcast: "Bad, Bad Thing," on June 30. Written and hosted by Schroeder, the six-episode program tells the story of a loving wife, Jennair Gerardot, who spirals into darkness when she suspects that her husband of 24 years, Mark, is having an affair with his younger and beautiful boss.

"Bad, Bad Thing is chilling. Hearing the actual audio recordings by a woman so deeply betrayed and in despair as she plans and plots sent shivers down my spine. Barbara's extensive background in true crime storytelling combined with unbelievable, exclusive, and jaw dropping assets makes this a podcast that cannot be missed," said PodcastOne President Kit Gray.

Schroeder, a journalist and documentary filmmaker, most recently wrote and directed the Netflix true crime series, "Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist," about an unsolved FBI case in Erie PA. She is the recipient of multiple Emmy awards for investigative journalism.

"This is a case unlike any I've ever covered," said Schroeder. "Through the secret recordings Jennair Gerardot left behind, we're able to do more than just tell the story of a horrible crime. ‘Bad, Bad Thing' becomes a cautionary tale about mental health and the fallout that can happen when love goes wrong."
