True Crime: From Guilty Pleasure to High Culture

Today on another episode of the True Crime Never Sleeps podcast, we take a look at the ever-popular true crime genre. If you’re like me, there’s nothing better than settling into the couch after a long day’s work and flipping on the television to Investigation Discovery. Investigation Discovery, or ID, is a cable television network owned by Discovery Communications that features almost exclusively true-crime documentaries. (Mainly murders, with a sprinkling of kidnappings, stalkings, and the ever-favorite “unexplained disappearance.”) It is the televisual Mecca for fans of hardboiled, albeit rather low-rent, crime stories. It’s kitschy and riveting—the ultimate guilty pleasure.
