    LRL Episode 007 - "Who's Watching the Watchmen?" goes straight at the heart of the problem: crooked cops, weak oversight, and a decertification system that lets misconduct recycle from town to town. Krista and Tim lay it out — clearly, loudly, and with receipts. Watch the clip and share if you believe accountability should apply to everyone in uniform.

  • LRL Episode 005 - The Thin Blue Margin

    In Elloree, the difference between transparency and corruption isn’t a sweeping movement — it’s a handful of ballots. Episode 5: "The Thin Blue Margin" explores how just four votes once determined the town’s leadership and how your vote can either reinforce the old guard or usher in a culture of accountability and progress.

    Krista and Tim examine the risk of empowering entrenched insiders like Kelly Ulmer and the opportunity to restore trust and integrity under Allen Reeves. Because in small-town America, democracy isn’t fragile by accident — it’s fragile by negligence.

    Plus, the big reveal: as the release of Gibbs' forthcoming book nears, Left Right and Local shifts into a full investigative true-crime serial — bringing intrigue, testimony, and first-hand insight into the systems and personalities shaping rural justice in South Carolina and beyond.

    The line is thin. The margin is real. The truth is coming.
