True Crime Reckonings and Revelations: A Conversation with Sarah Weinman on "Evidence of Things Seen"

Sarah Weinman is an award-winning writer and editor who has spent years covering crime, the true crime genre, and crime fiction. She's recently edited an anthology Evidence of Things Seen: True Crime in an Era of reckoning. It's a collection that asks tough questions about our understanding of crime, and efforts to document crimes in both traditional outlets and new media.

In this episode, The Murder Sheet sits down with Sarah to discuss the book, the process for compiling so many diverse and interesting voices in one volume, ethical considerations in true crime and crime journalism, and the crime fiction author Margaret Millar!
