Literature has a Dickensian style, film has a Lynchian aesthetic, television Sorkinesque....and with the NHPR series The Final Days of Sgt Tibbs, we see the Glassian Mode
This is so interesting, I hadn't thought about how Glassian it was. I just knew I loved the series — as I love everything from NHPR! Sgt. Tibbs made me think differently about what I can make into a narrative series. Like does there have to be a crime for it to be told like true crime?
You know, that's a great question. I think that acknowledging that the podcast form has its own conventions and that they've been around long enough that they are evolving and changing is a big step. Seeing the format of true crime as a genre, which can then be re-purposed for other stories with different reasons, a new high water mark. I say...bring on the innovations. Shuffle that Rubic's Cube!
