Podcasting. Murder. Family Secrets. Messy Cousins. Welcome back to Memphis.

Zariah Barkley survived her family's cookout. Barely. Now, she's turning her obsession with true crime into a brand-new podcast: Somebody's Lying — a messy, funny, locally sourced amateur sleuth podcast diving into unsolved crimes and suspicious family stories.

With her reluctant, sarcastic cousin Deucey as co-host, Zariah's first case hits too close to home:
👉 A small Memphis church.
👉 A woman who vanished without a trace.
👉 A murder nobody seems eager to solve.

What starts as content for a Black true crime podcast quickly spirals into something more dangerous. Missing witnesses, buried secrets, petty arguments over potato salad, and a suspiciously quiet pastor's wife pull Zariah and Deucey into a web of lies bigger than any amateur podcast was ready to handle.

But Zariah?
She can't resist a mystery.
And this one? Feels personal.

If you love:
✔️ Black Southern humor
✔️ Family drama with heart
✔️ Funny amateur sleuth mysteries
