In this episode, television producer and writer Jill Michelle Williams joins Celene Beth to discuss the ethical responsibilities of producers and creatives in the true crime genre. Jill, whose career spans broadcast, streaming, and cable networks, shares her experience creating content across various genres, including true crime, and reflects on how her career has been shaped by her dedication to ethical storytelling.

Jill opens up about how the case of Jeffrey Dahmer was her first true crime case that hit too close to home, particularly due to Rita Isbell’s powerful impact statement, which has stayed with her to this day. Together, Jill and Celene explore the deeper ethical duties involved in producing true crime content, including the importance of respecting the victims and their stories while balancing the commercial pressures of the industry.

Tune in to hear Jill’s insights on how authenticity, kindness, and thoughtfulness must guide the work of those telling real-life stories, especially when it comes to such sensitive subjects.
