Win Tickets from Up+Adam to Paso Wine Fest

*********

In this episode of Up & Adam, we sit down with two remarkable figures in the true crime world: Lauren Bright Pacheco, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and seasoned true-crime host, and Bob Motta, a veteran criminal defense attorney and creator of the acclaimed podcast Defense Diaries. Together, they delve into their latest collaboration, Murder on Songbird Road, a gripping podcast series that re-examines the 2020 stabbing death of 11-year-old Jade Marie Beasley in Southern Illinois. Through their investigation, Lauren and Bob explore whether justice was truly served or if an innocent woman remains wrongfully convicted.

Later in the show, we shift gears to celebrate Restaurant Month with Chef Alex Aviles from The Oak Grill at Hotel Cerro. Chef Alex shares his passion for wood-fired cooking and how he brings the flavors of the Central Coast to life, emphasizing locally sourced ingredients and international influences.

Additionally, don’t miss the Songs of Solace benefit concert happening this Sunday, January 26, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Rod & Hammer Rock in San Luis Obispo. This event features performances by local talents, including Moonshiner Collective, The Vibe Setters, and Funk Junket, with 100% of ticket sales going directly to the California Fire Foundation to support LA wildfire relief efforts.
