About the Project

Emma and Onya are two seniors at Credo High School, creating their senior project: a podcast that is fueled by their curiosity with true crime and human behavior.

Their goal is to dissect the reasoning behind society's fascination with stories about violent crimes and discuss whether the making of true crime media is ethical.
