Publisher's summary

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

Please note: Murder, We Spoke contains some adult language and mature themes. Discretion is advised.

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.

Something Different...

A curious, empathetic, intelligent conversation from largely a female perspective took this genre into a new realm ..really exciting!!! I love the format of a recorded essay... This feels like just the beginning to a new approach to and fresh view of crime culture.

Quick Listen for True Crime Fans

Kat talked to several people involved in true crime and had a little bit of information about the true crime genre. Overall I thought it had some good information. Considering this is free, I think it's worth the listen. I could see Kat fleshing this out more and making another Audible program that is more comprehensive than this is.

This book touched my Mind

The authors do a magnificent job walking the listeners through these “truths”. I also found the narrator’s voice to be pleasant.

interesting, but not what I thought it was.

I thought this was a traditional murder storyline. unfortunately, it was not and consisted of individuals talking about their fascination with serial killer type of stories.

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.
