True Crime, Ted Bundy and the Cost of Telling Real Stories

This week on The Global Show with Dave Benson, we revisit and upgrade Episode 29 with filmmaker, producer, podcast host and mental health coordinator Celine Beth Olsen.This conversation felt too important to leave behind in the old format. When it first came out, the show still carried more of the comedy led opening style. Since then, The Global Show has grown into a more serious podcast focused on honest, thoughtful and meaningful conversations. This rerelease gives the episode the space and tone it deserves.Celine Beth Olsen has worked across true crime storytelling, documentary production and major networks including Max, Investigation Discovery, Oxygen, ABC and CBS. In this conversation, she talks about her journey into true crime, her work around Ted Bundy, the ethics of documentary making, her podcast True Crime and Hollywood, and the emotional impact that these stories can have on survivors, families, actors, producers and crews.We also discuss the emerging role of mental health coordinators in film, television and documentary work, and why trauma informed care matters when telling stories based on real people’s pain.This is not just a conversation about true crime. It is a conversation about responsibility, storytelling, media narratives, survivors, mental health and what happens behind the scenes when entertainment is built around trauma.Find The Global Show with Dave Benson here:YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheGlobalShowwithDaveBenson?sub_confirmation=1TikTok@theglobalshow2026Instagram@theglobalshowwithdavebensonFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584258725761LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dave-benson-6a0146340/
