About this Audible Original

From podcasts and documentaries to online forums, true crime is booming. But as one Audible editor and self-professed crime obsessive observes, the genre is being pulled in new and different directions along with a changing social landscape. She wanted to know: Can we ethically engage in true crime as real concerns surface around the crimes, victims, and systemic issues that directly impact the humans we are hearing about? Where are the most sensitive and original voices in true crime turning their attention? And how can we use our primal fascination with the dark side of human nature as a force for good?

Listen in on this exclusive conversation with a host of experts from the true crime landscape, featuring original interviews with the following guests:

Attica Locke, author, Heaven, My Home

Billy Jensen, author, Chase Darkness with Me

Emily Martinez, executive producer, Finding Tess

Jim Clemente, creator, Call Me God

Marcus Parks, creator, Last Podcast on the Left

Michele Josue, director, Happy Jail

Maureen O’Connell, narrator, Call Me God

Rachel McCarthy James, author, The Man from the Train

Rachel Monroe, author, Savage Appetites

Sarah Weinman, author, The Real Lolita

Scott Brick, narrator, In Cold Blood

Vanessa Harris, senior director, Audible Content Partnerships

Thank you

Thank you, a well though through self analysis of a very popular genre.
well narrated.

Status quaestionis

This listen is more of an overview of where true crime is at at the moment and where it could go in the future. It mentions some recent books and makes for a start if you are into this topic.

Synthesis Success

I am proud Audible put this out.

Michelle McNamara & B. Jensen changed the game, and this addendum to their books is confirms an ethical mission that is otherwise not that "popular."
And yes, I agree, Finding Tess is shit... & misses the point.

wonderful

I love this book.This book is very interesting.may be this book is learning entertainment and fantasy.

Listening to murder

Recap of !listening to several different podcast specifically about the fascinating and interesting of murder

Interesting

I loved hearing about the reasons why some of us love True Crime. The facts on the gender that enjoys it the most. The books that I have missed out on and plan to read.

Fascinating

A short and entertaining podcast style look at true crime. I think it is worth a listen.

Short but Powerful

listening to those who are in the podcast / book world speak about why they do true crime was quite informative

Point/Reason

What was it that I just listened to? Was there a point to the story,?,yet not a story but talk about what? I mean yeah we have heard about almost everyone who has killed that was in the news, but what was this? was it just to say you wrote a book saying you like true crime and others you know do too? I'm lost.

Murder we spoke

They all did a good job and the speakers were some what interesting. I just just think they didn't go far enough with their discussions.
