Conception[]
Tammin and Lindsey created the podcast in the hopes of rewatching all 150 episodes of the series, to look back at the iconic series they were part of for so many years. As guest stars, they weren't privy to a lot of the plot lines,, and didn't see the entire series all the way through. They created the podcast to share gossip, secrets, tips and tricks from the acting world, and reminiscing on the biggest YA series of the time. Originally marketed as Pretty Little Podcast, the series was renamed to honor the true crime element at the end of each episode.

Notes and Trivia[]
- The podcast was originally called Pretty Little Liars Podcast, though the name was taken by a fan-run podcast. The backlash, and desire to honor the fans, prompted Tammin and Lindsey to change their name to Pretty Little Liars: True Crime.[1]
- Because the change was made after filming several episodes, Tammin and Lindsey refer to the show as Pretty Little Podcast instead of the new name.
