The founders of True Crime Podcast Training developed a fully online course to allow others to join the movement for ethical true crime and commit to victim-centered true crime content.

Families are also encouraged to complete the course if they are interested in learning research techniques to start their own podcast for media attention.

Co-Founder, Haley Gray has been a victim advocate and true crime researcher since 2016. Her values of ethics, integrity and helping others propelled her into creating this training program.
