Trial by Podcast: When Storytelling Collides with the Law

True crime podcasts promise both entertainment and justice—but what happens when those goals conflict?

Join Hadar Aviram, UC Law San Francisco professor and award-winning author, for a deep dive into how hit shows like Serial, Your Own Backyard, and Voices for Justice have shaped real criminal cases.

Hadar unpacks the tension between storytelling and due process—how empathy, speculation, and public opinion can influence investigations, trials, and truth itself. Together, we’ll consider what ethical storytelling in true crime might look like. ⚖️🎧
