Offbeat: True Crime Story Time

Offbeat is The Murder Sheet's audio opinion column. It's where we give you our takes on topics in crime. In this episode, we'll talk about our collective bias toward interesting stories, the shortcomings of storytelling in the true crime genre, and how it influences how we all think about real-life crimes.
