True crime has been among the most popular podcast genres over the past decade. Unlike shows like ‘Law & Order SUV,’ which depicts police attempting to solve fictional crimes, true crime media is focused on crimes that actually happened, hence the name. While true crime documentaries and books have been popular for decades, true crime podcasts like ‘My Favorite Murder’ are insanely popular. However, true crime has not been without criticism, with detractors calling it cavalier and insensitive to the victim’s families.
