This year, during the world’s largest podcasting conference, a group of survivors and independent producers will be taking the stage with a panel titled, “True Crime Podcasts That Help Not Hurt: How to Produce True Crime Ethically.” Their goal is to start a conversation about changing the way we approach, produce, and commodify these dramatic stories. 

Ahead of their live Podcast Movement panel, Anna Van Valin and Christine O'Donnell join Kim and Kara on SGTC for a discussion about the state of the true crime genre and what the future holds.

Just because telling ethical true crime isn’t easy, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. That’s why Chamberlain, Corban, Van Valin and O’Donnell teamed up to present a panel on this very topic. 

CTA: Catch their live conversation: “True Crime Podcasts That Help Not Hurt: How to Produce True Crime Ethically” on Tuesday, August 22nd from 2:30-3pm on the Society, Culture and Advocacy Stage at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center.

Anna Van Valin is a podcast creator, producer and host; she is a trusted content development consultant and coaches indie/DIY podcasters to help them be heard. She is the executive producer of the upcoming true crime podcast from Bright Sighted Podcasting:  https://www.annavanvalin.com/
