Behind the Mic: How We Research, Write and Live With True Crime

In this episode of True Crime Catch Up, we’re doing something a little different. Instead of focusing on one case, we go behind the scenes of true crime podcasting. We talk openly about how we choose cases, how we research and write them, and the emotional toll that comes with telling these stories week after week. We discuss recent cases we’ve covered, including why certain stories stay with us, the dangers of turning true crime into “man kills woman every week”, and how behaviour that escalates over time is still too often dismissed or minimised. We also talk about wrongful convictions, false confessions, and the long-lasting impact these cases have on victims’ families.
