Kat Johnson is an Audible editor and podcast addict who lightens up her rotation of true crime, hidden history, and investigative journalism with mystically tinged self-dev and the occasional science blockbuster to sound smarter at parties.
What is this book about?
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?
