Crimes em pauta : um podcast de true crime em Mato Grosso

Abstract

The experimental product Crimes em Pauta, produced in podcast format within the true crime genre, narrates in its first season the story of the Beco do Candeeiro Massacre, which took place in Cuiabá on the night of July 10, 1998. This crime claimed the lives of three underage boys in the Historic Center of Mato Grosso’s capital, and to this day, neither the killer nor the mastermind has been arrested or convicted. The script is based on research from printed newspapers of the time, the book Beco Sem Saída, master's dissertations on the subject, and interviews with the boys' families and people who were involved in the journalistic coverage of the event when it happened. Through a historical contextualization of the city, the incident, and the people involved, the production offers a critical and in-depth view of the event and its unfolding over time, aiming to spark social discussions on the theme. To support the development of the product, theoretical research on podcasting and true crime was conducted, as well as audience analysis and examination of content that spans this format and genre. Theoretical references consulted include prominent authors on the subject, such as Tiziano Bonini, Marcelo Kischinhevsky, Luana Viana, Carlos Jaurégui, among others.
