And now let's talk about it and bring light to these cases. ![]() And I think now we're all just realizing we're interested in the same thing. I knew my close group of friends had been deeply invested in it, and we just thought we were kind of the outliers and the weirdos. What I really believe is that we all are collectively figuring out it's not just us - because I think, you know, when I look back at myself in high school or even college, I had always been obsessed with it. And I think that's what so many people are drawn to.Īnd I don't know that it's gotten more popular. And there was just something in me that was drawn to the unsolved cases specifically, something about a puzzle that needed to be solved and not having resolution. And at some point in my life, I realized that these mysteries weren't all fiction and that these things were really happening. And I grew up reading mystery novels - "Nancy Drew," Agatha Christie. ![]() So how did you fall in love with it, and why do you think it's taken off as it has?įLOWERS: Well, I fell in love with it or got interested in it because I always say my mom and her mother before her, they were my OG crime junkies. And all they really wanted to do was go home. There was one I remember, that had these glamorous stars playing mommies out on the town. For example, there have been several "Saturday Night Live" skits about it. Like, I mean, it's become so embedded in the culture. MARTIN: So how did you fall in love with the true crime genre? And I'm wondering why you think it's so popular. It's called "All Good People Here." And she is here with us now to tell us more about it. She also created "Supernatural With Ashley Flowers," "International Infamy" and "Very Presidential." And on top of all of that, she has a new novel out. She's the co-host and producer of the hit podcast "Crime Junkie," which gets millions of downloads each week, and that's not all. If you are a fan of the true crime genre, then you surely know the name Ashley Flowers. ![]()
