LanieLeave a comment

This special episode is a live recording from the Berkshire Podcast Festival, where I joined an incredible panel for Life in True Crime, moderated by Josh Hallmark from True Crime BS. Alongside me were Charlie Worrol from Crimelines, Robin Warder from The Trail Went Cold, and Robert Parmer from The Broken System Podcast.

During the session, we dove into the highs and lows of true crime podcasting, sharing the joys of storytelling, connecting with listeners, and uncovering cold cases. We also discussed our challenges in navigating sensitive content, managing the emotional toll, and maintaining ethical standards. It was a fascinating conversation about the unique world of true crime podcasts and our responsibility as creators.

This live discussion gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the true crime podcasting journey, including personal insights and experiences from some of the top voices in the genre.
