WICKED WORDS

Kate Winkler Dawson is a crime historian, and a podcast host, as well as a best-selling author. Her forthcoming book, All That Is Wicked: A Gilded-Age Story of Murder and the Race to Decode the Criminal Mind, is based on the first season of her hit podcast “Tenfold More Wicked” on the Exactly Right network. The documentary-style show, now in its sixth season, is a deep dive into historical crimes that still resonate with us today. 

Dawson is also the host of the podcast “Tenfold More Wicked Presents: Wicked Words” on the Exactly Right network. On that show, she interviews writers about their best true crime cases—the stories behind the stories.

Dawson is also the author of American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics, and the Birth of American CSI and she’s a professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin.
