I think I know what happened with Unheard: The Fred and Rose West Tapes. Here’s my theory: journalist Howard Sounes, who was one of the first reporters on the case and the author of Fred & Rose: The Full Story of Fred and Rose West and the Gloucester House of Horrors, saw one or two or ten articles about how true crime podcasts are becoming a huge business and he thought “hey, when I was writing my book back in 1995, I taped a lot of interviews! I’ll bet I could turn them into a podcast!” Which isn’t, on its face, a bad idea -- I’m all for recycling, and I also prefer podcasts where the subjects speak for themselves, as opposed to listening to a host read transcripts from a discussion.
