Tietoa podcastista
A podcast about crime - both real and fictitious
# WINNER: Outstanding Indie Podcast @ True Crime Awards 2024 #
Crime is one of the biggest genres in books and on TV: both true crime and fiction.
Why?
What makes a criminal? What drives a person to ignore the laws and conventions of normal society and pushes them to perform truly dark acts?
Sex? Money? Revenge? Love? Humiliation?
And why do so many creative people drawn to crime as a fertile ground for stories?
Award-winning TV crime correspondent Robert Murphy speaks with writers, directors, police and experts about their work.
Which true crimes inspired some of our favourite books, shows and films?
And why do we as a society find crime so compelling?
In this series, Rob speaks with creatives including Lee Child, David Baldacci, Lynda La Plante, Jackie Kabler, Mark Gatiss, George Kay and many, many others about their true crime inspiration.
