True crime podcast script writing, with Gemma Harris

True crime podcasts are hugely popular - but who's behind the scenes creating the episodes we can't help but go back for again and again? Meet Gemma Harris, a podcast scriptwriter who specialises in true crime. In this fascinating episode, we talk to Gemma about: + her criminology degree and psychology and how helpful it is to her in her work + how she finds work as a true crime podcast scriptwriter + the polarising question of whether true crime podcasts are exploitative + her podcast script-writing process + the cases she's researched and written about that she'll never forget + her advice to others thinking about a similar niche.
