In this gripping and hilarious episode, ‘Looking Up: A Proper Hoe Bath Near Death Row’, of the He's Wrong She's Right podcast, Andrew Lemacks and Nona Phelps sit down with the incredible Casey Roman, a daring former investigative reporter who bravely navigated the mean streets of heroin, prostitution, and panhandling in the Southeast. Casey recounts her wild ride through some of Wilmington's darkest corners to eventually taking on the van life and exploring all of America. Discover the shocking turns and unexpected moments that led her from news headlines to real estate listings. With tales of baby showers for prostitutes, faking her news credentials, and confronting dangerous criminals, Casey's adventure is a rollercoaster you won't want to miss! Tune in to hear how she rose from the ashes like a phoenix, dealt with personal battles, and found a way to turn her experiences into a best-selling book.
