dramatic narrator voice: "You have a dark obsession. You love true crime,"
chirpy ad-read narrator voice: "and iHeartPodcasts has gathered the best true crime all in one channel, iHeart True Crime Plus. It's packed with podcasts about murder cases, missing persons, serial killers, and more!"

I do not love true crime, I am not listening to a true crime podcast
its popularity as a genre is seriously messing with people's brains, in a way that smarter people than me are talking about plenty
please

as @margot pointed out, "people! you can read mystery fiction! please!!"

bonus: you can obtain said fiction from your local public library! a win-win solution!

a beautiful thing about podcast ads is that I cannot remember the last time I heard one that didn't sound like the worst thing I could spend my time listening to

there's one that gets inflicted on me a lot that sounds like the most heterosexual thing on the planet. "Put the kids to bed and pop in your headphones, because this one? This one's for adults only."

true crime is so awful as a genre. it's all the worst parts of celebrity culture, but with the added benefit of them being about ordinary people who had horrible things happen to them

exactly!!! it's ghoulish and not even because it's about horrible crimes
