Australian-born Kristi Lee works in marketing by day… but late at night, you can find her sitting in her closet, recording meticulously-researched scripts about the country’s most horrific crimes.
Her Canadian True Crime podcast boasts an impressive listenership, and it’s not alone. Lee’s is among the burgeoning group of popular indie true crime podcasts made across Canada. But with such a following, why do we rarely hear about these shows?
Kristi joins Jesse to discuss the economics, entertainment, and ethics of true crime podcasting in Canada.
