In a 2024 survey, Ainvest found that the global true crime podcast audience is worth over 3 billion US dollars and the podcast genre has experienced a major weekly increase of 20% since 2020. In addition, it's a common trope of the mystery genre to feature true crime fans, armchair detectives amongst other non-professionals involved in a crime story because they love true crime. This never would have happened a decade ago. Therefore, in this forensic psychology podcast episode, you'll learn why do people enjoy true crime, how does personality impact true crime consumption and more. If you enjoy learning about criminal psychology, the true crime phenomenon and social psychology, then you'll love today's episode. 

In the psychology news section, you'll learn how non-binary insights are missed in sexuality research, how the pandemic impacted OCD symptoms, and are we ready to support assisted dying?
