Hosted by award-winning podcasters Damien St John and Ant McGinley, this episode explores the ethical challenges facing true crime podcasters. Together with Adam Lloyd from the UK True Crime podcast, we examine when coverage becomes exploitation, whether creators should contact victims' families, how to ensure accuracy without journalism training, the ethics of monetising tragedy, and balancing engagement with dignity. For independent podcasters navigating these moral complexities, we offer guidance on creating compelling content while maintaining ethical standards and respecting those affected by crime.
