The team behind LSM's true-crime podcast «Velnoga» has released a bonus episode in which they discuss how the show is made and respond to questions from listeners.

In the special episode, the hosts describe the process behind producing the first three episodes, which covered cases involving cannibalism, a massacre at a kindergarten, and the killing of a spouse.

Ethical questions

The conversation also addresses a broader issue: why media outlets and podcast creators choose to tell stories about severe, violent crimes in the first place. The hosts reflect on the ethical dilemmas involved in producing content about real acts of violence, and discuss how they try to balance informational value with respect for victims and the wider context of each case.

Historical context

The bonus episode also explains the historical era in which the described crimes took place, helping listeners better understand the social and historical background behind each case.

The episode was created in response to audience interest, with listeners submitting questions that the podcast's creators answer directly, offering a look into the creative process behind each episode of «Velnoga».
