I’m Tabitha Kane—nickname Tab. I’m a mom of three, longtime true crime podcaster, and co-host of The Alternate: Inside America’s Biggest Trials. I also host the hit show Housewives of True Crime, where I’ve spent years diving into unbelievable cases with a mix of curiosity, skepticism, and a little humor along the way.
I’ve always been fascinated by the justice system—not just the big verdicts, but the everyday details that shape how cases are won, lost, or completely misunderstood. On The Alternate, I bring that same energy to the courtroom, asking the questions regular people are thinking and making sure no key detail goes unnoticed.
Whether I’m pointing out the courtroom theatrics, unpacking testimony, or just trying to make sense of it all—I’m here to help listeners step into the jury’s shoes.

I am Margot (nickname "Mama Margot"), mom of 3, attorney, and 11-year Active Duty Air Force veteran turned full time podcaster (shoutout to my OG listeners of Military Murder Podcast). My passion is making the legal world accessible and engaging to those who might not be able to follow a case from beginning to end. My true passion is reminding everyone to remain vigilant always.
After years of serving in the military and practicing law, I traded the courtroom for the mic - bringing compelling storytelling and a dose of humanity to some of the most high-profile trials in America.
As co-host of The Alternate, I draw on my legal background to break down complex cases, sifting through courtroom minutiae, distilling key evidence and testimony, and asking the tough questions the jury never gets to. I help listeners understand exactly what the jury heard -- and why they may have reached their final verdict.
Through The Alternate, I aim to bring clarity, context, and curiosity to the courtroom--one trial at a time.
