Daphne Woolsoncroft true-crime podcaster and debut thriller author joins Barely Famous to talk about Night Watcher, her chilling new novel about a Portland radio host who receives a terrifying on-air call that dredges up a serial killer from her past. Daphne shares how years of researching cases for Going West shaped her victim-first approach, why she spotlights lesser-known and BIPOC stories, and how her own family tragedy informs the respect and sensitivity she brings to true crime. We dig into the line between awareness and sensationalism, the cases that haunt her and forensic details in Night Watcher.
If you love thrillers, ethical true crime, and behind-the-scenes craft talk, this one’s for you.
