The Team

Mandy Matney, is an independent journalist, best-selling author and celebrated #1 Podcaster originally from Shawnee, Kansas who has worked for newspapers in Missouri, Illinois, and South Carolina before launching Luna Shark Productions and three chart topping podcasts, Murdaugh Murders Podcast (#1 Oct 2021) now known as True Sunlight, and Cup of Justice (#1 Feb 2023).   

Mandy is also now proud to join Hulu in announcing a dramatic series based on Mandy's "Murdaugh Murders Podcast" starring Patricia Arquette and Jason Clarke, where Mandy will executive produce.

Matney’s first podcast sparked a global analysis of the “Good Old Boy System” in South Carolina, the different set of rules for the privileged, laid bare. Matney’s approach exposed a system that illuminates the substantially different applications of justice for families without connections to the highest reaches of power.
