About this Podcast:
This podcast features the work of student authors who are currently enrolled in a junior-level rhetoric, narrative, and true crime writing class. Each class/cohort will produce two series featuring specific themes with the first series being collaborative episodes and the second highlighting individual episodes. Most importantly, every episode centers student research, writing, editing, and choices. From the outset, we've questioned the bounds of privacy, civic responsibility, cultural functions of narrative, and ethics in true crime writing and media. Tune in to join the conversation!
