The podcast, which is expected to be released on January 4, features interviews with Ames’ friends and family members, as well adult industry workers, “some of whom wished to remain anonymous”.

Ronson and Misitzis also highlight a certain event which possibly became the "triggering incident" for Ames’ suicide, along with the involvement of a "shady individual".

The news website points out, however, that the duo gloss over Ames’ previous suicide attempts while at the same time making "some startling observations" about her death.
