Kallyn WoodwardIn a space filled with copycat “true crime podcasts and NPR-sounding podcasts,” Max Cutler, 27, didn’t want to create the next Serial. Instead, he says, “I wanted to create something that sounded very different.”So, in 2016, he founded Parcast, a network of scripted true crime podcasts, with his father, Ron Cutler, who is a veteran radio producer. The goal: “Nothing should sound like anything else in the podcast space.”To a regular podcast listener, this sentiment might sound peculiar. True crime podcasts, including Parcast’s, frequent the top charts, but with so many options available, it can be hard for listeners to cut through the noise. Every word matters,” Cutler says.
