Abstract/Description

Abstract	Abstract True crime podcasts are very popular in Canada and across the world. Despite this, little research has been done on the genre and what its impact may be on Canadian listeners. Using data from a survey on 455 true crime podcast consumers in Canada, this study identifies common listener characteristics and participant support for the reinstatement of the death penalty. Relationships between high podcast consumption, participation in crime and justice activism, and support for the death penalty are explored, and opportunities for future research are discussed.
