Joe Budden has become a pioneer in the podcast world. Overall, he remains someone who continues to push the envelope while devising new content strategies with The Joe Budden Podcast.
His direct-to-consumer model through Patreon has made him one of the highest-paid players in the industry. With $20 million in yearly earnings, Budden has proven himself to be among the highest-paid podcasters in the world.
Now, he is looking to expand that empire beyond just the JBP. Recently, he announced a new podcast in collaboration with Law & Order creator Dick Wolf. This would be a show centered around true crime, and it would be called Crime In America.
Today, Budden offered a trailer for the new podcast, and he even offered up a release date. As you will see below, this new podcast will debut its first episode on August 11th, which is next Tuesday.

As Budden explains, this won't be like your typical true crime show. Most of these podcasts take a similar approach. They contain one or two people, and they just give a chronological summary of a murder or missing persons case. Oftentimes, these shows are shallow and don't offer much value other than the story itself.
However, Budden wants to take a much different approach. As he explains in his new trailer, the show will be true crime in real time. The people he interviews will be those on the scene, and the cases will be fresh. Instead of retrospectives, fans can expect new cases all the time.
Fans will simply have to wait and see before making any judgments. As of next Tuesday, we will get a true sense of what this show intends to be.
