If there’s anything that can help take the sting off this dumpster fire year that keeps on sucking, it’s the soothing dulcet tones of a serious narrator slowly describing a horrific murder.
True crime documentaries and podcasts have exploded in popularity, as our macabre interests continue to provide a distraction from the day-to-day doldrums. Sure we’re all drowning in kids and responsibilities, but you know what we really need to do with our “spare time?” Solve that unsolved murder that happened 25 years ago. Just gimme a coffee and some earbuds, and bitch, I’m good to go!
Now, nobody actually likes murder. I mean, that would be weird… right? But for some reason these stories captivate us like nothing else, and you wind up with a situation where we consume this content to relax and unwind. It’s like a massage but with DNA analysis. Or like a bubble bath, but with extra blood and guts.
Ok, maybe it’s not normal. Yet here we are.

1. Apparently it’s all fun and games until the dog gets it.
Is the dog ok?
-My main concern while listening to true crime stories that mention a dog.

2. Or maybe it sends the right message…. depends on how much you like your neighbors I suppose.
Listening to true crime podcasts on blast while digging a giant hole in your backyard at dusk sends the wrong message to the neighborhood. I know that now.

8. Just when I think I’m out, they keep pulling me back in.
Me, all day: “I’m so tired; I can’t WAIT to go to sleep tonight!”
Me, at 1am, on my iPhone: “Whelp, these true crime cases aren’t going to solve themselves, so…”

I just want to be rocked to sleep by a murder show.

So sleep with one eye open and one ear to the latest True Crime murder podcast.
You may not be feeding your brain with the most positive stuff, but chances are you WILL be learning a thing or two about how to remove blood from textiles, or what those closest to you might secretly be capable of.
Nighty Night!
