Celebrating the One-Year Anniversary of Bloody Disgusting’s Murder Made Fiction Podcast

When most casual viewers think of true crime titles, they picture cheap recreations of disturbing violence or salacious documentaries highlighting the voice of a killer. While these are certainly elements of this expansive genre, the world of true crime is large and diverse. For every biased true crime biopic, there’s an empathetic miniseries exploring all sides of the story.

The Murder Made Fiction Podcast is dedicated to analyzing depictions of true crime adaptations and the lenses through which we view criminality. From natural disasters, financial scams, medical incompetence, cults, and killers, co-hosts Joe Lipsett and Jenn Adams dissect the various ways we employ narrative art to tell some of our culture’s most distressing true stories.  

In the latest episode of Bloody FM’s Murder Made Fiction Podcast, Joe and Jenn celebrate one year of this challenging work. From Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein to shark attacks, haunted houses, and cannibalism, they’ll compare and contrast their favorite titles and the stories that proved to be most upsetting.

They’ll also discuss what they’ve learned from a full year of watching these disparate stories. Why is the genre so maligned? Is there overlap with fictional horror? Can casting change a title’s impact and what can we learn from recreating so much pain? They’ll wrestle with these complex ideas while looking ahead to another year.

And if you want even more Murder Made Fiction, be sure to check out the pod’s Patreon feed, where Jenn and Joe have ~90 hours of content included episodes dedicated to the Conjuring franchise and the case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren, along with episode by episode coverage of Hulu’s The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.
