This session discusses the evolution of true crime podcasts, focusing on the shift from serial killer cases to micro-cases within families. It also explores the challenges of maintaining integrity, handling sensitive topics, and avoiding conspiracy theories.
Key points include:
- True crime podcasts have become increasingly popular, but there are concerns about their impact on listeners.
- Podcasters must be responsible and sensitive when covering these topics.
- Micro-cases, such as those involving families, are becoming more common.
- It is important to focus on the human stories behind these cases, rather than just the crime itself.
- Podcasters should avoid speculation and conspiracy theories.
- It is important to fact-check information and to be transparent with listeners.
