Murder Made Fiction

I decided to check out this podcast when co-host Jenn Adams put one of her other podcasts—the Ladykillers—on a month long hiatus during the Spring. What I thought would be a gap filler quickly became a regular show in my podcast rotation, and a couple days later I became a Patreon member. With Murder Made Fiction, Jenn and Joe Lipsett succeed in creating the feeling of a casual conversation from what is clearly a well thought out, organized and planned show, and anyone who listens to their other podcasts knows this is not accidental. They are both talented communicators, and have a very effective and successful formula…and I’m not even that big of a true crime fan. As long as they keep producing shows though, I’ll keep listening.

Like true crime? Joe and Jenn do their homework and talk about fictional adaptations of true crime stories. They are good at what they do and offer analysis and fact-checking. Thanks for the podcast, y’all. I really enjoy it.

First off, Jenn and Joe have great rapport and clearly do their research on the subjects they are discussing. But what truly separates this podcast from other true crime series is their empathetic approach to the material. They truly highlight, that these are real events that affected real victims. cannot recommend this enough for those looking for an insightful and respectful approach to true crime.

I don’t normally go for true crime content, but as a fan of Joe and Jenn’s other podcasts, I trust them to have nuanced, thoughtful conversations on the subject. I really like what I’m hearing so far, and I look forward to hearing more!
