Host & ProducerRene Hinojosa
The Host
I follow the cases that refused to stay closed.
I'm Rene Hinojosa. Host of ZeitCrimes. I've spent years researching crimes to understand how environment shapes violence. The most important crimes don't just punish a person they change a country. New laws. New fears. Causing the crimes to "enter the zeit," and become part of the shared American consciousness.
ZeitCrimes is where I bring those cases to your ears. Every episode is built from primary sources — court transcripts, professional journals, scholary works, and the voices of people who were there. I don't sensationalize, and I don't guess. I let the record speak, and I tell you exactly where the gaps are.
"A single crime can move a whole nation. My job is to show you how."
