Episode 1.7

On this episode we discuss the ever popular True Crime genre. What makes this genre so compelling across literature, documentary and podcast seasons. Having transcended across media platforms from factual news programmes, trashy cable shows, to the stylish overproduced Netflix documetaries and abundent podcast seasons, true crime is now as popular as its ever been. We delve into the genre's rebirth and explore whether or not the fascination is harmless or insidiously exploitative. 

This episode is presented by Megan and discussed with Claire.
