Great podcast - disappointed by lack of cultural research
I love crime junkie and have been a fan for some time now. They do an amazing job and research everything really well - which is why I’m surprised after hearing the Talwar episode that takes place in India. The lack of cultural awareness and research is sad. In India it’s so ridiculously hot, and there’s not really central cooling - there’s a main door that shuts all the way - in India that’s usually left open and then there a gate type door in front of it that’s usually closed or you can lock at night but still have open to let air in. It’s not a dumb set up as Brit put it. Secondly, India police as not as up to date as US police in terms of forensic education, resources - they usually don’t care or if they do, the job isn’t as meticulous. Security guards are the first people you usually reach out to, since they guard your neighborhood and home and can be there immediately. Lastly India is a collective culture/society. If you’re not living in a joint family system, then you’re still extremely close to your relatives- you can’t go through something and not involve them. They play a huge role in raising you, in your life and that whole term “it takes a village” is the best way to describe it. I turned off the episode after the first 20mins - sad.

Literally the best crime podcast out there. Found out about it through Murder Monday on Radio Now and forever obsessed. Their storytelling is incredible and they get straight to the point. It’s easy to follow and keeps you intrigued until the very end. I wish they would put out a new episode...Read full review »
