  • Summary

  • "

    Some people amass artwork. For others, it's stamps. But why would you want to collect the possessions of a serial killer?

    Journalists Poppy Damon and Alice Fiennes travel from New York to Scotland to probe one of the internet's strangest subcultures‚ the people from all over the world who can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on so-called "murderabilia"

    From the Muswell Hill Murderer, Dennis Nilsen, to Charles Manson, the duo explore the grisly yet lucrative business in trading everything from handwritten letters to prisoners' hairbrushes.

    They also examine our seemingly insatiable appetite for the macabre, asking if there is a link between serial killer collectables and the true crime podcasting boom? Poppy and Alice hear that sometimes collectors are drawn to the idea that these objects could offer insight into the minds of dark figures like Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, or The Night Stalker.

Exceptionally Entertaining

I've been listening to Audible for years but only recently began branching out into podcasts and so far I've enjoyed many of the titles offered. Considering, this one was absent of reviews, I typically would have skipped it in favor of another but something told me to give this a chance. I'm glad I did. These two ladies did an outstanding job in all areas! In my opinion, Murderabilia is well produced, has an engaging subject, an balanced blend of humor vs solemnity, all without seeming to hold particular or judgment towards the subject matter. My only complaint is that the series was only six episodes, and over too quickly. Great work Poppy & Alice, keep it up, and I hope to hear more collaborations of this caliber to come!
