Episode 74: True Crime as a Genre:


Listen Later

In this episode, Marc and Kristina start a multi-episode arc looking at True Crime.  They lay groundwork here, discussing how genre theoretically works as a social construct that serves a symbolic function and then we turn more practical and examine the way that True Crime, as a genre, has evolved over time in three parts: method of presentation, authority, and focus.  This episode will serve as a foundation for the next several episodes, so stick with us for more.
