Since October 2021, I’ve served as the host for Crime Capsule, a true-crime podcast series co-sponsored by Arcadia Publishing (who published my book on Hattiesburg) and Evergreen Podcasts. The podcast grew out of the original Crime Capsule website and features weekly interviews with authors from Arcadia and the History Press.
Crime Capsule was named as a Platinum Winner in the 2022 Muse Awards. Our interview series with Joshua Suchon also won a 2022 Communicator Award of Excellence, from the Academy of Interactive & Visual Arts, and in 2023 we were nominated for an Ambie Award in the “Best True Crime Podcast” category. In 2024 we reached a milestone of 100 episodes of original content, and are currently in our fourth season of shows.
From the show description:
The smoking gun. The bloody knife. The chase, the catch, the courthouse doors. On the Crime Capsule podcast, nothing fascinates us more than the stories of true crime in American history: the deeds and misdeeds that have shocked our citizens and, in some cases, shaped our nation. Traveling coast to coast, our mission is to dig up these stories from America’s past and to bring them to America’s present. To shine a light on the darkness that at times shadows our history. And hopefully, to let that light illuminate the concept of justice more brightly.
Join writer and host Benjamin Morris for exclusive, in-depth interviews with authors from Arcadia Publishing, the largest publisher of local nonfiction in the country. From DNA testing to the Dixie Mafia, our guests have intimate knowledge of the cases they’ve studied. They’re the historians who chronicled them. The reporters who broke them. And sometimes, the cops who cracked them.
Each week, Crime Capsule brings you the authors who have journeyed deep inside the shadows of American history. And we’d love for you to join the conversation.
Crime Capsule: history so interesting it’s criminal.
