Creating Criminal: A Podcast About Crime

Phoebe Judge and Lauren Spohrer discuss the origins and objectives of their podcast, Criminal. They wanted to create a show that approached crime reporting with compassion and aimed to understand why people commit crimes. They also wanted to explore the broad range of crime, including funny and sad stories, and create episodes where the subject's voice takes center stage. The podcast seeks to provide listeners with a deeper understanding of individuals and topics related to crime, fostering empathy and curiosity.
