True crime podcasts are everywhere. But in 2018, we listened to one murder mystery series that stood out in extraordinary ways. It’s called Missing and Murdered: Finding Cleo.

So what made the series so exceptional?Quite simply, Finding Cleo upends the genre of true crime. And in this session from the 2018 Third Coast Conference, Connie Walker & producer Jennifer Fowler share how they did it - how to use one mystery to provide a deeper understanding of the causes behind injustice. By letting subjects lead the investigation, and using empathy and historical inquiry as a guide, Connie & Jennifer show how you can tell a richer, more thoughtful story - and even perhaps, challenge the very concept of 'true crime.’You can listen to all the sessions from previous years of the conference at ThirdCoastFestival.org.
