Paulina Krasa's Instagram page is emblazoned with the phrase: "In Darkness We Rise". The dark, the morbid seems to have taken a liking to the 33-year-old even as a small child. "I've always been drawn to this topic. When you see my old diary, you wonder, what's wrong with this girl?" says Krasa.
So it was probably no coincidence that five years ago, together with her colleague Laura Wohlers, she launched the true-crime podcast »Mordlust«. The two report on murder cases in German-speaking countries. Today, their format is one of the most popular German-language productions, with millions of people listening every month. A few weeks ago, the two won the "German Podcast Award".

In the podcast »Moreno+1«, host Juan Moreno and Paulina Krasa talk about dying. » Early in my life, I was confronted with death. I accompanied my grandparents when they died and later a person very close to me. Today I can say that I am no longer afraid of death," says Krasa.
