Tired: True Crime Wired: The Shrink Next Door
Photo: Wondery At the risk of generalizing from my own personal trajectory, I kind of think true crime is over. Or at least, on the decline. There is too much of it now, and the newest offerings are somehow both increasingly sensationalist and also … boring. Take Conversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes, or the Zac Efron Bundy movie . The former is disturbing more for the permission it grants Bundy, a vicious rapist and murderer, to tell his own story.
I don’t miss the violence, but when I essentially stopped listening to murder podcasts, I did miss the suspense. I missed gasping aloud, alone in my kitchen, which is where I most want a podcast to keep me company. There are several entertainment and culture podcasts I still love , but it wasn’t until recently that I found anything to fill the multi-episode, roller-coaster-narrative hole left by true crime. Enter The Shrink Next Door.
