In this episode we talk about the media genre of true crime and its effects on its viewers. Why are people so fascinated by true crime shows and podcasts? Ennui? Morbid fascination? A desire for a greater sense of security? Death drive? Next, we address what we think viewers are taking away from these shows, and we conclude with the suggestion that they are more harmful than good.
