About the host
Kim Toller
Kim Toller is a Calgary, Alberta-based podcaster and the creator, researcher, writer, host and producer of A Million Other Choices, launched in 2021. Her background is in finance and accounting, and her approach to true crime is shaped by the murder of her niece, Taylor Toller, in 2017, which gave her a first-hand understanding of what homicide does to the families left behind.
