  • True crime is not far off from crime documentary. If anything I could see people arguing they’re the same and it would really just come down to semantics.

    To me, a " crime documentary" is a show or episode covering a specific crime or suspect. A True Crime podcast (or show, vlog, etc.) tends to cover a new crime or suspect each episode.

    If anything, I would argue True Crime shows are a series of mini-documentaries so-to-speak.

    Another thing to consider would be production value. When I hear “Documentary” I think of something I would see on TV or a streaming service. In other words I think of something backed by money.

    When I hear “True Crime” I think of podcasts or vloggers. Typically a person or small group of people doing their own research and producing their own content.

    A True crime podcast I’d recommend would be Small Town Murder. My wife will listen to it as we’re doing chores around the house and I would catch myself paying attention from time to time.



  • I honestly think there’s a gray area here and it’s worth talking to a lawyer if anything. There are certainly some protections for peoples under 40. Being denied a promotion because you’re “too young” is certainly a protection. The catch is you have to prove it.

    This case is easy to prove though if there are any laws over this.

    Edit: but now that I think about it, this is only really a protection if you’re already hired at the place. If you just slam the door on people before they can get in, discrimination seems to be legal.
