Show Notes

Just as a fair warning, this episode isn't very funny, because this book wasn't very funny. It's buckwild, really affective, and hits several nerves for us, though, so we think it's still important. Also...maybe don't listen to this one alone in the dark. Don't make our mistakes. Step into the light. Talking points: perpetual flapness; hopelessness in the face of overwhelming terror; series killer fandom; who we deem worthy of victim hood; are the real monsters human; why we keep telling ourselves the same bloody stories; the celebrity of anonymity; and, hey, is there a way true crime can ever be free from its exploitative premise?
