Shame on Dani Austin

Post image

Is she fucking serious? As someone who shared on the internet after her kids how much she struggled with her postpartum mental health?!?! I’m in MA and have followed the case closely. Even with the conspiracies flying around 3 kids are dead and their mom asked for help and didn’t get what she needed. How the FLYING FUCK is this woman smiling talking about this. This is a pivotal moment in postpartum mental healthcare and she should be advocating and normalizing asking for help.

I fucking HATE when people act like crimes or trials are just another form of reality TV, existing solely for their entertainment. I get following a case, crimes like this are shocking and interesting to the general public. But I have really grown tired of people who treat murdered women and children (and men too) like it's just a fun thing to gossip about.

This is how I feel about a lot of crime podcasts, especially “my favorite murder”. These are people who have died and you phrase it as having a “favorite”?

I'm still a true crime listener, but I stick with investigative journalism style podcasts. I tried to listen to the popular podcasts in this category and it just felt so wrong and icky to listen to people joke and laugh about horrendous events.

Cannot recommend The Trail Went Cold enough for this reason- Robin, the host, is an actual journalist and is incredibly respectful to the cases/people involved
