If you love conversations that are real, a little wild, and unexpectedly healing—the Relatively Unqualified Podcast is for you.
The Southern Oregon True Crime Summit 2026 is thrilled to welcome Nic Proctor and Darra Berger, the hosts of the Relatively Unqualified Podcast, as our guest interviewers and on-site emcees.
They’ll be helping guide the energy of the day, amplifying stories with care, and keeping things grounded with the kind of humor that makes hard topics feel human.
A Podcast Built on Honesty, Humor, and Real Life
Relatively Unqualified is a podcast rooted in honesty, laughter, and the kind of family dynamic that’s equal parts therapy and chaos.
Nic and Darra talk about the storms people often hide from—loss, growth, identity—while still finding the joke in the wreckage. Their podcast conversations have a way of catching listeners off guard: you might laugh one moment and realize, the next, that something meaningful just landed.
This is a podcast for people who appreciate truth told with heart—and without pretense.
How This Podcast Turns Conversations Into Breakthroughs
What makes the Relatively Unqualified podcast so compelling is the dynamic between its hosts.
Nic’s vulnerability and Darra’s fearless voice collide in a way that transforms interviews into breakthroughs. Rather than performative storytelling, their podcast creates space for reflection, connection, and moments of clarity—often when you least expect them.
It’s the kind of dialogue that resonates deeply with audiences navigating complex human experiences.
What This Podcast Is Bringing to the Southern Oregon True Crime Summit
At the 2026 Southern Oregon True Crime Summit, Nic and Darra will play an active role throughout the event, including:
- Emceeing alongside our summit team
- Serving as guest interviewers during select sessions
- Hosting an info + meet-and-greet podcast booth, where attendees can stop by to connect, ask questions, and learn more about the show
They’re donating their time because they believe in what this summit represents—and we’re honored (and excited) to help introduce their podcast to a wider audience.
Meet the Podcast Hosts In Person
One of the most powerful aspects of an in-person summit is the chance to connect with real people—beyond screens and episodes.
If you’ve ever wanted to:
- ask a podcaster how they find meaningful stories
- talk about the power of podcast storytelling
- share a piece of your own journey
- or simply connect with hosts who genuinely get it
Make sure you stop by their booth and say hello.
Where to Listen to the Relatively Unqualified Podcast
The Relatively Unqualified podcast is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever podcasts are streamed.
Listening ahead of summit day is a great way to get a feel for their tone, depth, and storytelling style—and to understand why they’re such a natural fit for this event.
