Oh yes. I mostly listen to podcasts, but I’ve been on a book binge this year. I watch a lot of 20/20 and Netflix documentaries too. I also listen to an obscene amount of psychological and cozy murder novels.
I blame my mother for reading me It as a bedtime story.
I also struggle like Kristin with people doing true crime “right” There have been too many situations where the killers are immortalized and the victims are forgotten, and so may cases that don’t get the energy and focus they deserve because the victim is part of a marginalized community. I try to choose my sources as wisely as possible and have no trouble abandoning a book or podcast when it starts to give me that icky feeling that everything isn’t on the up and up.
