Between Two Mics: The Remote Recording Podcast

On the show today, Sam Walker and Steve Jones of the podcast American Vigilante. Hosts Zach and Rock wanted to learn what it takes to produce an award-winning true crime podcast.About the show:KC is the American Vigilante - A hugely complex, intelligent, contradictory man who could save your life but end it too. Who leads a group of violent men standing on the blurred line between right and wrong, between revenge and redemption. A man you want on your side when it all falls apart.American Vigilante is true crime, but so much more. It’s saving abducted children, it’s stepping beyond the law. It’s rescue missions, assassination attempts and last-gasp protection. It’s all the stuff you hope never comes to you, until it does.About the host:Former BBC Journalist Sam Walker presents this Crowd Network original. She’s been speaking to KC for months and has recorded everything he’s told her. You’ll need to listen to make your own mind up, but you might never be the same again.In this episode of Between Two Mics, we discuss:The morals of true crime podcastingWhat makes a podcast a documentary, an investigation, or just a conversationHow the New York Times' Caliphate debacle affected their production decisionsHow this show stands out from other true crime podcastsHow to produce a limited-run series while keeping open the possibility of more episodes in the futureAlso in this episode:A pre-roll ad from Hilary Russo of Hilistically SpeakingA mid-roll ad from Arielle Nissenblatt about the SquadCast communityCreditsWritten and produced by Arielle NissenblattMixed and designed by Vince Moreno JrArtwork and logos by Alex WhedbeeTranscript for Ian PowellHosted by Zach Moreno and Rock Felder
