Liz Farrell

Liz Farrell is an award-winning investigative journalist and writer, best known today as co-host of the True Sunlight™ Podcast and Cup of Justice Podcast, produced in collaboration with LUNASHARK™. With more than two decades of newsroom experience, Liz has built her reputation on fearless reporting, sharp analysis, and an irreverent writing style that never shies away from calling things as she sees them.

She spent much of her career as a print news journalist and opinion columnist. Her hard-hitting columns and investigative work earned her numerous honors, including the South Carolina Press Association’s recognition as 2018 Columnist of the Year. Her reporting has long been defined by a deep commitment to accountability and transparency in public institutions.

Liz has been investigating the Murdaugh family saga alongside Mandy Matney for more than 6 years — long before the story captured national headlines. Although she briefly stepped away from journalism to work in the public sector, Liz returned to her true calling in 2021, joining Mandy in launching what was then the Murdaugh Murders Podcast. She has also been part of the Cup of Justice Podcast team since its inception, bringing a journalist’s lens to conversations about law, accountability, and reform.

Beyond her investigative work, Liz is deeply passionate about writing as a way to connect people and communities. Her career reflects a lifelong dedication to storytelling that matters — whether through journalism, podcasting, or her essays. Liz’s incisive writing and unflinching commentary help expose corruption, lift up victims’ voices and challenge systems that enable abuse of power.

Liz now resides in Maryland, where she continues to write, podcast, and champion the pursuit of truth.
