About the Host

Didi West is the creator and host of Broken Limelight, a true crime podcast that dives into the darker side of celebrity culture and the criminal justice system. What started as a personal hobby quickly turned into something much bigger, as Didi’s curiosity about how fame and crime intersect sparked a conversation with listeners and readers alike.

Over the years, Didi has uncovered a surprising—and sometimes unsettling—amount of information about how the criminal justice system works (or doesn’t work) behind the scenes. Through her unique approach of breaking down complex cases and explaining them in a way that anyone can understand, she’s opened the door for a broader audience to engage with true crime in a more thoughtful, critical way.

What sets Didi apart is her commitment to getting into the nitty-gritty details—the things the system might hope you don’t notice. She’s not here to sensationalize or sugarcoat. Instead, Didi takes on controversial topics, asks the tough questions, and challenges the way things are often presented to the public. Broken Limelight isn’t just about telling stories—it’s about questioning them.

When she’s not investigating high-profile cases or uncovering the hidden layers of justice, Didi spends her time with her dedicated listeners, continuously learning from them as much as they learn from her. It’s this back-and-forth that makes Broken Limelight more than just a podcast—it’s a community.

Didi’s work has resonated with people who want to see a different side of true crime—one that’s not just about the drama, but about understanding the systems that affect all of us. Through her passion for storytelling and her deep dive into the shadows of celebrity crime, Didi aims to educate, inform, and spark real conversations that go beyond the surface.
