Audible Killings: Capitalist Motivation, Character Construction, and the Effects of Representation in True Crime Podcasts An Honors Thesis presented by Maia Hibbett to the Department of English in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in the Major Field Connecticut College New London, Connecticut May 2018 Hibbett 2 Acknowledgements The first and most essential thanks for this project go to Professor Rae Gaubinger, who bravely agreed to advise my thesis despite having never met me, and despite my project having nothing to do with her field. Hybrid experts in Victorianism and Modernism like Professor Gaubinger are rare to begin with, but I would bet that combined Victorian-and-Modernists who have advised true crime and new media projects are even rarer.
