Hello. My husband and I really loved murder in america. We like how graphic it gets. We don't care for podcasts where the hosts just chat. I tried morbid and didn't like it at all because the hosts were so chatty.

Any recommendations? Tysm

Question: Does this get better? Began listening based on all the recommendations here…Started off great in the first episode, but now I’m on episode 8 and I feel like it’s devolved into a gossipy smear vendetta between true crime journalists. Just wondering if this story actually goes into engaging true crime territory, or if it stays in this he said/she said back and forth drama without any real incident.

I remember listening to this around 2010. I know that they were based out of Austin and it was either called the SK podcast or Serial Killer Podcast. They had episodes on HH Holmes and Fred and Rosemary West among others. I can no longer find the old episodes and was wondering if anyone knew about thos podcast and where it could be found.

Season 1 or Season 2???? Which one is the best???

I’ve got three months free and would love some advice on what to listen to while it’s available, since I don’t plan on renewing.

So far I’ve listened to Extrasensory (totally engaging) and Under Cover of Knight (interesting story but >!sort of disappointing when the mystery just kinda peters out at the end!<).

I don’t love Keith Morrison-esque narrated stuff (Extrasensory was a real exception for me) and prefer storytelling mixed with interviews/court recordings/etc.

Thanks y’all!

Can anyone recommend a good podcast that recaps the Delphi murders trial? I’ve tried Murder Sheet but I cannot STAND the hosts. They come off pompous and entitled. Help!

Thank in advance!

Probably a fair fetch but I remember listening to a podcast in 2019 during a school camp and I’m trying so hard to find it. From what I remember it was a series focusing on a young women who was killed in her home in Melbourne, Australia. It would’ve been early to mid 1900s and it was unsolved at the time I think. The series had around 10 episodes all outlining different aspects of this girls life and what led up to her murder. I believe she was killed with a blunt instrument (an iron?). Another odd detail i recall is that it took awhile for medical personal to arrive for some reason I’m not 100% sure why.

If anyone has any idea what I’m talking about please help. I have scoured the internet and found nothing but I’m determined on finding it

I started listening to The Killing Month and was reminded of the Wagners. The Killing Month is about a family called the Johnson Gang. The patriarch kills his own son and a bunch of others in 1978 Pennsylvania.

I'm not sure where to ask and it may be a weird question, I'll try asking here. I've been listening to DNA: ID for a while and I've been loving the podcast, it's really impressive how much research goes into the episodes. But there's a sad obvious tendency that the perpetrators are men and I've been wondering for a while if there are any episodes where a woman is responsible of the murder. It may be weirdly specific but I just can't let go of wondering. I tried researching a bit, but it's hard when there are 200+ episodes... Maybe any of you know? Thank you!

The Christine Harron Case, season 9 of Someone Knows Something.

David Ridgen joins Christine's mother to reignite the investigation into the teenager's 1993 disappearance — coming face to face with the man who says he killed her.

I love his work and his voice. Looking forward to listening next week!

Maybe it’s too soon, but this story obviously seems incredibly ripe for the TC podcast treatment. And the news articles even say that there have been podcast episodes written about it, but I’m reluctant to search because there are so many lousy podcasts out there.

Anyone heard any good ones?

I am frustrated that I was in the MIDDLE of listening to the dating game killer podcast on amazon music (which i have to pay for prime to access so is already a paid service) and wondery seems to have ripped it off of amazon and put it behind their super special wondery+ paywall.

they can go suck eggs, i don’t care enough to pay for one more subscription service.

i just think it’s scummy they decided to move it because clearly the listenership was expanding but it’s still listed in the previews on other apps that it can be listened to with a prime account on amazon. its one thing if it was a W+ exclusive out of the gate. annoying.

I think I’ve hit the end of the apple true crime podcasts. Is spotify worth trying for others not on Apple?

I've listened to most things in general, I'm curious if someone has suggestions that I haven't binged yet

I feel like I’m going crazy and hope someone can help! About 2 years ago I used to listen to a true crime podcast that had 3 female hosts. One I’m sure was ginger and called Katie. Now I cannot find the same podcast for the life of me and I feel like I’ve made it all up in my head. Please help!

Since I was a child, and now at the age of 27, I have been reading and researching the case of the "West Memphis Three" practically every week. I am always checking to see if new information or developments have emerged related to the case. I have read testimonies, interviews and absolutely everything that exists on the subject.

It may seem obsessive, but in fact, the case has aroused a lot of curiosity in me. There are certainly similar cases around the world, but this one in particular continues to intrigue me, leaving many questions in my mind. I rarely get involved in debates about the case; I prefer to follow the different opinions and, based on that, form my own theories.

Anyway, I have a few theories. One of the main ones, which Dan Stidham, Jessie's lawyer, recently mentioned as his own, is that an unknown person, such as a truck driver, could have been the perpetrator of the crime. Personally, I do not believe that the WM3 trio was responsible. They were unfortunate enough to get Jessie Misskelley, who, due to her lack of knowledge, gave in to police pressure and only told them what they wanted to hear.

The theory about Terry Hobbs is also strong, and I have my suspicions about him. However, my suspicions about John Mark Byers (who sadly passed away in a car accident in 2020) are even greater than those about Hobbs. As Mara Leveritt’s book recounts, Byers was a longtime criminal and had some questionable dealings with local law enforcement, involving smuggling and bribery. There are reports that he would provide contraband jewelry to police officers in exchange for protection and a sympathetic eye on his activities.

These are just theories, and I stand by them all.

One small detail that I see a lot of people mentioning is that “a strand of Hobbs’ hair was found on one of the shoelaces.” In fact, what was found was a strand that was a high match, but not necessarily his.

However, one theory that I strongly support is that of “Mr. BooJangles.” You might wonder how this fits in as a perpetrator. Not in the sense of being the perpetrator, but as a crucial witness. “Mr. BooJangles” arrived at the restaurant bloodied and covered in mud on the night of the crime. This is a pretty significant coincidence, considering that the restaurant was less than a mile from the crime scene. However, he was wearing a cast on his arm, which would have made him incapable of committing a violent crime against three children. I think that “Mr. BooJangles” may be the only person who can solve this mystery. The police’s inaction and lack of commitment from the beginning have contributed to the difficulty in solving this case.

Spoiler Alert

I was listening to this episode (a 2-parter) the other day and the part where Kerry ultimately chalks her sickness up to stress is just baffling. She even talked to one of her betrayer's former partners and that person ended up with similar signs and symptoms during the relationship. How could they not mention that this was some sort of poisoning going on? Stress alone, to my knowledge, does not cause vomiting, diarrhea, a massively elevated white blood cell count, and hair/skin/nail changes. At least not that I'm aware of lol. I feel like he was poisoning his partners to slowly get rid of them and take their estates. Thoughts?

Did anyone listen to their last two posts on April Holt? They end up getting access to April's accused/pled guilty husband's new apartment in TX and then take journals and information out of the apartment, film the person who let them in and recorded them (seemingly without their knowledge despite it being legal). It genuinely seems like a cluster fuck then they get angry that the police in TN won't automatically take the evidence and believe their opinion on how the case should go, meanwhile the detective explains since they took it without the husband's approval and the fact the police didn't have a warrant/likely couldn't get one because they have 0 basis to get one - they literally are outraged over this, as if it isn't standard law. They have since been deleted comments and ranting about how they can't believe anyone would just let "all this evidence" be thrown out via eviction notice.

Personally I've been wishy washy on them because they sometimes have good content but this really made me question them as people - I don't think they did a bad thing but I think they just don't understand crime and law whatsoever.

Update: They blocked me for stating that they deleted mine and others comments about mentioning they potentially messed up evidence by not waiting until the eviction to grab all the items in the apartment and expecting the police to take it all and use it despite not having a warrant.

Update 2: they removed commenting on Spotify as well, where they were getting a lot of people stating they really botched this evidence.

I'm looking for multi episode True Crime podcasts where there is a potential serial killer that hasn't been found yet, or murder investigations where they don't have a strong suspect yet and everything is still under investigation.

Like the kind of profiling that was in "I'll Be Gone In the Dark", but in podcast form.

I want to feel like I’m part of the investigation as it unfolds!

The only one I can think of is Murder 101, which wasn't my fav as I feel like there were ethical dilemmas with the way they spoke to the surviving victim. Any suggestions?

I tend to prefer true crime podcasts that give off that Keith Morrison vibe (slow, engaging). The only ones I seem to find close to that outside of his Dateline eps are Cold and Someone Knows Something. Any other suggestions?

If you had to pick your most favorite podcast series of all time what would it be? (Not S-Town or Serial, the GOATs)

A podcast, well you guessed it, about crimes in the medical field. Doctors and/or nurses going rogue, killing etc.

But they also discuss cases with more ethical dilemmas. As a worker in the medical field you sometimes find your self in a difficult position or have to make difficult decisions. (F.e. They also have an episode about the ‘take care of maya’ case that has a Netflix documentary)

But almost always it’s about death/murder*!

When it comes to the moral and ethical aspects, the 2 hosts help to explain to the non-medical listeners how specific procedures work and how a professional may thought or find themselves in that position. Both hosts work in the medical field so they have a great understanding of the absolute do’s and don’ts in this field, but can also can shine a light on the side of the ‘perpetrator’ when needed!

I really appreciate the coverage and content that the Misery Machine does, but for some reason their monotone voices really make me lose focus on the story easily and kind of just zone out! I’m mainly looking for other pods that show flaws in CPS procedures and expose that system and how fatal it is when it’s not functioning properly.

Thanks for any recommendations !

never want to talk to police without an attorney, play ‘best f-ends’, use ‘better h-lp’

you?

Hello,

**Just to start out please don't recommend Park Predators**

My wife and I do a lot of camping and traveling and we love true crime (admittedly I'm way more into it than her) but I've had a hard time finding a good podcast that specifically deals with people targeted in national parks or similarly. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all! I’m in a podcast rut and wanted to get some recommendations. I love podcasts about scammers, from people like Scamanda, to more personal cases like on Betrayal. Anything from money scams to love scams. I’ve listened to the aforementioned Betrayal and Scamanda, Believe in Magic, Sweet Bobby, love the Pretend Podcast and Ex Wives Undercover. Really loved the Snowball season of Unravel. SWW would fit the bill but is not my cup of tea because of the host. I’m even down for specific episodes on short form podcasts. Thanks so much!

I'm a teacher currently running a true crime narratives course, and my senior students are working on a podcast unit in groups. They’ll each listen to a single-episode podcast from four different series (not serialized/investigative podcasts like Serial, Bone Valley, or Cold). I’ve chosen My Favorite Murder as one option, and I’m considering Small Town Murder for its unique narrative approach, since humor is involved. Any other popular recommendations for engaging single-episode true crime podcasts? I'd greatly appreciate any suggestions that would fit this unit and any other ideas you may have!

I assume that host are doing this as they imagine it makes for intriguing storytelling. They dance around forever and a day before even letting us know the subject of the series.

I absolutely hate this.

I recently heard a podcast, IIRC it was called 'Something Wasn't Right'. I spent the whole series shaking a proverbial fist at my Bluetooth speaker, willing her to get around to making a point. In her defense, she wasn't actually holding anything back... It was simply a toxic relationship and the guy was a big fibber. But I wish she'd have outlined that upfront. I felt like I was strung along by a massive nothing burger.

Now listening to the latest season of Unravel (Mr Big). They gave us a brief teaser of an covert recording. Now the first episode is all about an arson investigation. Absolutely no explanation of who Mr Big is, what he's allegeded to have done, or where this story is going.

I've definitely experienced this with other podcasts recently.

I really, really hate it.

Please give me Sarah Koenig style... Articulately summarise the case and what's at question, then investigate and explore.

Am I alone in this, or is this annoying anyone else?
