About This Episode
American podcast TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED released its 545th episode on May 4, 2026, under the title True Crime Time. Featuring author Rachel Corbett as guest and running 83 minutes, the episode focuses on one of the most talked-about and controversial figures in American true crime history: art dealer Andrew Crispo, who rose to prominence in New York's elite art world before becoming a central figure in one of the city's darkest criminal cases.
Rachel Corbett and the Book Behind the Episode
Rachel Corbett is the author of The Monsters We Make, which serves as the content foundation for the episode. Corbett joins as both expert and storyteller, and the conversation revolves around the intersection of criminal profiling and what happens when powerful men operate in the gray zones between the art world and outright criminality. Corbett's approach combines rigorous journalistic research with a deeper psychological understanding of what drives people toward extreme behavior — a theme that runs throughout The Monsters We Make.
The episode illustrates how true crime podcasts are increasingly drawing on books and academic expertise rather than relying solely on court documents and interviews with those directly involved. The result is a more nuanced and analytical take on complex cases that rewards listeners looking for depth over sensationalism.
Andrew Crispo — Art Dealer and Criminal
For decades, Andrew Crispo was a central figure in New York's exclusive art scene. His Manhattan galleries attracted the era's most prominent artists and collectors. But behind the scenes, far darker stories were allegedly playing out. Crispo's case is a textbook example of how fame and wealth can function as a shield — and of how devastating a fall from the very top of society can be.
For true crime enthusiasts, Crispo represents a case steeped in the elements of classic noir: power, moral decay, guilt, and the question of whether justice ever fully catches up with the guilty. The episode explores precisely this through the interplay between host and guest, drawing out what Crispo's story reveals about the systems that allow abuse to flourish unchecked.
TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED and the Podcast's Format
With more than 500 episodes to its name, TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED has established itself as one of the more enduring and analytically minded true crime feeds in the English-language market. Episode 545 is not an isolated event, but part of a broader trend in which true crime books are translated into audio experiences that reach entirely new audiences. With Rachel Corbett on board, the episode elevates itself from a straightforward case walkthrough to a wider discussion about what cases like Crispo's say about society, the art world, and the structures that make abuse possible.
The episode is available on Apple Podcasts and a range of other platforms, and it will appeal to listeners with an interest in both criminal history and the psychological mechanisms behind serious crime.
