True crime is a wildly popular genre across platforms, but podcasters are producing some of the best long-form investigative journalism out there. On Tuesday, Curiouscast launched Season 2 of Crime Beat. It’s a journalistic true-crime podcast focused on some of Canada’s most high-profile cases.

Tamara Khandaker is joined today by Crime Beat host and Global News reporter Nancy Hixt. They talk about listeners’ fascination with true crime, what makes Crime Beat different, and offer a preview of what the new season has in store.
