This episode we talk Dahmer, OJ, and the podcast that we owe our very medium to - Serial. Not only is true crime everywhere right now, but it's starting to impact active cases and change the way we think about crime and punishment. So why on earth do we love using it as a way to relax??? And is it ever ethical to produce true crime content?

CW: discussion of violence, abuse
