Today\u2019s show puts a different spin on our usual subject matter. We\u2019re going to discuss something that has millions of followers and has become a world-wide obsession: true crime! Alright, it isn\u2019t a cult (technically!), but it\u2019s definitely infiltrated our minds and media.\xa0\xa0
Our guest today is Terry Dunn Meurer, the co-creator and executive producer of Unsolved Mysteries\u2014the OG in crime-related television. Terry\u2019s\xa0 talks about the evolution of true crime in media, and the massive surge of interest it\u2019s seen in recent years.\xa0
Fascination with true crime is extremely common and mostly harmless, but today we delve into its dark side. From armchair detectives interfering with police investigations, to the glorification of serial killers, this episode might make you wonder if maybe there is something culty here, after all\u2026
We take a trip down memory lane with Terry, talking true crime and cold cases. Plus, Sarah pitches Terry on covering an unsolved NXIVM mystery.
