A true crime podcast...with a difference...Engaging interviews with authoritative voices on true crime.Footnotes On Crime focuses on individuals whose lives have been directly touched by crime: survivors, witnesses, investigators, and others, particularly those who have gone on to document their experiences in writing; through documentary making; or other creative endeavours. While many of the stories we discuss involve serious wrongdoing or difficult subject matter, Footnotes on Crime is not about sensationalism or asking guests to relive trauma for its own sake. Our focus is on the act of creation and meaning-making — how people take complex experiences and shape them into work that is thoughtful, ethical, and meaningful, and how that work connects with their audience.
