Offbeat: On True Crime Cranks

Originally aired September 14, 2023

Offbeat is The Murder Sheet's audio opinion column. It's where we give you our
takes on topics in crime. In this episode, we'll talk about our collective bias
toward interesting stories, the shortcomings of storytelling in the true crime
genre, and how it influences how we all think about real-life crimes.

Today on The Murder Sheet, we'll be talking about the deluge of cranks who seem
to flock to every major true crime story.
