DALLAS, Aug. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Prepare for a riveting journey into the heart
of Texas crime with the launch of
"Texas Crime Stories," a new podcast that takes listeners from the
crime scene to the courtroom to the cellblock. This true crime
sensation is the result of a strategic partnership with Riggs
Media.
Celebrated Peabody Award-winning investigative journalist
Robert Riggs is at the helm,
bringing his storytelling expertise to reVolver's bilingual
audience. "Texas Crime Stories" offers listeners a front-row seat
to real-life cases through the perspectives of those most
intimately involved: law enforcement investigators and prosecutors,
offenders, reporters, and victims alike.
Jack Hobbs, President of reVolver
Podcasts, expressed his admiration for Riggs' unmatched
storytelling prowess: "For years, I've witnessed Riggs in
action—reporting fearlessly from the frontlines of war zones and
exposing corruption in politics," Hobbs remarked. "His unparalleled
access to a vast network of law enforcement sources empowers him to
weave together true crime tales that stand apart, each one a
gripping narrative born of his unique insight and unparalleled
connections."
Riggs' acclaimed career in broadcast journalism has earned him
prestigious accolades, including top honors from the industry's
most esteemed awards. Recently, his compelling work on "Freed To
Kill," a five-part television documentary and podcast series
exploring the sinister story of serial killer Kenneth McDuff, garnered both a coveted Webby
and a Silver Telly.
"Tales of true crime defy the imagination in the sprawling
expanse of Texas, where the
mythical shadows of oil, cowboys, and cattle loom as large as the
state itself. The Texas Crime Stories podcast unfurls the grim
tapestry of the most confounding and chilling crimes that have
scarred the Lone Star State and the Southwestern United States," said Riggs.
The podcast will also be available in Spanish under the name
Texas Historias de Crimen, ensuring accessibility to a wider
audience.
Riggs' monumental impact in journalism is underscored by
multiple prestigious awards, including three Alfred I. duPont
Columbia University Journalism Awards
for exemplary investigative reporting. His work spans interviewing
notorious serial killers and U.S. Presidents, reporting from war
zones in Iraq, and covering
natural disasters, solidifying his reputation as a juggernaut in
journalism.
Before his journalism career, Riggs served as an investigator
for legendary Texas Congressman
Wright Patman, focusing on investigations linked to the Watergate
and Pentagon bribery scandals. His Top Secret clearance and elite
training positioned him at the confluence of policy and inquiry,
shaping federal legislation like the Foreign Corrupt Practices
Act.
An alumnus of Texas A&M
University, Riggs was honored with the Outstanding Alumnus
Award in 2001, recognizing his monumental contributions to
journalism. This accolade exemplifies Riggs' eclectic brilliance,
connecting his degree in Architecture and Construction to the
intricate design of compelling narratives.
Outside his investigative work, Riggs finds solace in the
equestrian arts. A descendant of a long line of Texan horsemen,
Riggs balances his high-octane professional life with the
tranquility of horseback riding, embodying the frontier spirit of
Texas.
