It's no secret that within the podcast world, true crime shows are extremely popular. Studies have shown that female listeners make up the majority of true crime podcast subscribers. Why do women find themselves drawn to the grisly, the horrific, and the tragedy of true crime? Female podcast hosts Austyn Castelli and Repy Hattersley of Hell and High Horror discuss the role of women in the true crime community as well as the effects that the genre has had on women-identifying populations.
