I. THE APPROACH
Beyond the crime.
Into the history.
Every crime belongs to a time and place. To understand what happened, we first have to understand the world around it.
Each series follows the story chronologically, placing the people involved within the beliefs, pressures, and events of their era. No sensationalism. No easy answers. Just the history, carefully told.

TRUE CRIME OF THE HISTORICAL KIND
IV. BEHIND THE MICROPHONE
Meet Elizabeth.
I'm Elizabeth Hill, a true crime follower with a history degree. I created True Crime of the Historical Kind to tell the stories behind history’s crimes—with context, care, and room for listeners to draw their own conclusions.
Each episode begins with the historical record and the belief that the people at the center of these stories deserve to be understood as more than names in a case.
