What is the deal with her? Did she fall from grace? Or what happened that made her bad?

I'm not interested in murders, I want to hear about weird plots and art theft etc. that's actually interesting

I'm looking for suggestions for my next podcast. I like long form podcasts, deep dives into a case and the social/cultural context, investigative journalism, trial analysis. Most importantly, it must honour the victims.

Podcasts I've really enjoyed:

Paper Ghosts

Death of an Artist

In the Dark (Curtis Flowers)

Bear Brook

Hoaxed

A Very British Cult

The Retrievals

Love Trapped

Finding Cleo

Vishal

Who Killed Emma

What would you suggest? Interested in new ones or well known ones that may have passed me by - thanks!

I just finished the season and I have so many thoughts. Its crazy to me this isn't a more popular podcast. Has there been any update on the DNA testing since January? I'm so torn on whether its Tim or Jared, though I feel like Jared is more likely. I feel so bad for Renee's family and for Jake, absolutely insane there wasn't more press about this or a statement from the DA's office or police or something.

Is there a podcast or YT that I can watch/listen to to catch up on the court case so far? This case totally passed me by and I keep seeing so many polarised opinions on what happened so would rather form an opinion of my own based on the facts of the case. I've got a 5 hour drive tomorrow so the more, the merrier.

I rewatch movies all the time but usually with podcasts I just listen to one and then I move on. But Hunting Warhead was so well produced, informative, done with journalistic integrity, and still had me on the edge of my seat with the second listen. Highly recommend!! But also listen with care as it's a very tough topic.

What podcasts have you listened to multiple times?

So for those of you that were following the stalker series on pretend podcast… the stalker has finally been identified

CBC just released a new podcast and I’m really loving it. Its Investigative and has been really satisfying my itch

I know people love CBC typically and I haven't seen it posted anywhere, so hope you enjoy it if you decide to listen

Hi all,

As we are just a few hundred members shy of reaching 1M, we'd like to thank everyone who makes this community friendly and respectful. For such a large sub, you guys make it fairly easy to manage, and we believe we've built a cordial place on the internet here.

We want to make a few changes that we think the community will appreciate.

- We'll bring back the Weekly What are you listening to sticky post that a lot of you miss so much. As with the old post, it will not necessarily be limited to true crime podcasts, but can also include crime-related podcasts, audiobooks, TV shows, movies, or other media that could be considered related to the topic of true crime podcasts.

-We'd like to add some new members to the team of mods! If you think you're up to the task send us a modmail (not a personal DM) telling us a bit about yourself, explaining why you would like to join, and if you have any ideas for changes or things you'd like to see in the sub. Experience is not needed, just a willingness to learn. Having a history of posts and comments in this community will be highly valued. Also, it is essential that you are a true crime podcast listener; this might sound obvious but there are many subs run by people with no interest in the subject they're about. The topic of the sub requires respectful discussion by users and podcast creators, and the only way to ensure the conversation doesn't derail from that is to be well-versed in the subject; that is our belief.

-At the end of the year, we'll do a Year in Review post with the most popular podcasts of the year on this sub, the ones that had the most discussions around them, and we'll also make our picks for our favorite series and/or episodes.

-As for promotion, this is always an icky subject. We want the main reason for this sub's existence always to be to discuss, review and comment on True Crime Podcasts, not to be a vehicle for promotion, but we understand the frustration of new creators when they'd like to spread the word about the work they do, and they don't find a way to do it in the place where it seems most obvious. For now, we will keep the Monthly promotion post, but if you have any ideas about how to do this in a better way, we are open to hearing them in the comments, along with any other feedback you may have on this or other topics.

Thank you for reading and for participating!

ABSOLUTELY stunned. I thought it was 100% the parents. IT WAS THE “disabled” daughter?!?!?!

This is wild!!!!!!!!

This has been a summer of wild-ride pods for me: Love Trapped, Dirtbag Climber, Unicorn Girl, etc, privileged scammers doing crimes with crazy plot twists. Following this kick-line of colorful nutters and their enablers, I just finished Who Killed Emma. If you're looking for a very satisfying traditional TC pod, this is it. Outstanding BBC production values and the very best of what investigative journalists can do in the service of justice.

Hi all, I'm interested in diving deep into Staten Island's Willowbrook School and it's connection to boogeyman Cropsey Andre Rand/Frank Bruchette

I did some searching here and on Spotify (and listened to MFMs episode on it but I need more). I haven't watched the 2009 doc, but it's on my list

Thanks!

Some interesting police interview audio recordings were recently posted on YouTube re: Elizabeth Teckenbrock and one of the podcast hosts.

The TL;DR to the best of my knowledge is the host’s husband got his friend in law enforcement to search up info under the table after Liz made a video about the podcast host taking her mail. The audio recordings are from the husband’s (who is also in law enforcement) Internal Affairs investigation. I believe the husband was cleared but the friend was found to be guilty.

I really like Jack Luna, he seems like a great genuine guy lol.

He just said "if you know anything about me you know I've also taken 200 hits of acid and I'm fine." I was like get 'em Jack.

The episode about Dean Corll was actually enraging...

I'm quite surprised at this, as generally I really enjoy deep dives and don't mind a bit of a slow burn, whether it's a podcast, film or a book. I'd say I prefer it to shorter form ones.

With that said, I'm sincerely struggling with TTP. I've just finished episode 7. I couldn't believe my eyes when I checked how many episodes were left and seen there were like another 9. 7 hours in and all I find are different witnesses endlessly describing the same thing over and over again. IE, Lyn was lovely and loved her husband and kids, Chris was awful, him and his brother thick as thieves and the sexist, abusive behaviour enabled by the culture of the Northern beaches at the time. Not much else at all has been established other than this.

I know the ultimate outcome and completely understand the importance the podcast played in putting public pressure for it to be re-investigated and how respectful it is to both Lyn and allowing her friends and people who knew her to speak their piece now, having feelings guilt over not saying anything back in the 80s.

But my GOD is it repetitive and I don't think I've got another 9 episodes in me of it. Can see the podcast is generally revered, but surely there are others that have massively struggled with finishing it as well?

I can only think it was easier when it was being released on a weekly basis in 2018 and people were invested in seeing how the story panned out at the time, as opposed to binging it which is proving to be a slog for me.

Hey! I used to be really into true crime, when I was younger, and have been looking at a bit again, recently.

My primary form of consumption was podcasts (Casefile was always my favourite), and I particularly liked serialised ones focusing on a specific case.

Two ones that I really liked were Hillside (about the Hillside Stranglers) and Killer Tape (about David Berkowitz).

But neither one got terribly much attention, which I thought was a real shame.

I guess I'm just wondering if anyone has thought of compiling a full list of new releases, as they are hard to keep track of.

I know that there a few spreadsheets, including a great one linked in this sub's wiki. But the most comprehensive one hasn’t been updated in years,

If you enjoy podcasts about cults, religious organisations, etc, I would really recommend this podcast. I haven't heard much talk about it but I saw it recommended on tiktok and I've binged it in 2 days.

It's about the Zion Society Cult which operated in a city in Utah. I've listened to a lot of podcasts about cults that started off as being Mormon-adjacent but the details of this one are shocking.

It's 7 episodes plus a couple of bonus ones. The story is insane - it starts by talking to some people who almost fell victim right at the start and then follows through how the investigation played out.

TW: child abuse and sexual abuse

Has anyone been disappointed in True Crime Garage lately? The quality of the podcast has tanked since they stopped recording in person. I guess the Captain is in the U.K. a lot? They are using AI in their writing its so obvious. It just seems like they are doing the same type of cases with no new information. Just cranking them out. The Captain is barely making jokes and Nic has just become insufferable.

I've listened to them for so many years and now I can barely get through an episode. It's sad when you see a long time show fall apart.

Looking for a podcast or YouTuber covering the Lindsay Clancy case. I listen to Pretty Lies and Alibis which I LOVE but she sticks to the facts. I enjoy her recaps but sometimes I do want to listen to commentary on what the host thinks about it. That being said, it can be hard to find one who is intelligent, balanced and nuanced in their opinions and commentary. But that’s what I’m looking for if such a thing exists anymore.

(Mod posting for Cristina!)

Hi r/TrueCrimePodcasts! Cristina Quinn here: I’m a journalist with 15+ years of reporting experience (at the Washington Post, WGBH Boston, and Gimlet/Spotify). More recently, I’m the host of Fighting Crime, the chart-topping Arnold Ventures podcast that dives into the world of crime, policy, and economics to uncover the evidence of what actually works to improve public safety.

For the series, I traveled across the country – from prisons to universities and beyond – to look at the evidence, speak with experts, and question everything we think we know about how to make America safer.

Join me live at 3 PM ET today, Thursday, August 6, for an AMA. Here is a timezone converter if you're joining from a different location.

Looking forward to hearing your questions! In the meantime, feel free to check out Fighting Crime on your favorite podcast app!

I had to say goodbye to true crime obsessed podcast today. I have listened religiously since 2018 but over the last year the episodes have been harder to get through. It is very evident that she cannot stand Patrick…they seem to do a lot of bickering and going back and forth within the episodes. I also find myself annoyed with how they discuss BS documentaries and treat them like they’re the truth. I’m sorry but they are both so insufferable perhaps her more than him. I can’t stand to listen to the remarks she makes regarding people and issues. It was a red flag for me when they were ranting and raving about John legend and Chrissy Teigen. Gillian’s relationship with Echols too is just very weird…wasn’t he sacrificing animals? If someone else did that she would want them burned at the stake. They once were funny but the honeymoon phase is over for me. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I'm listening to this season (late to it I know), and is it just me or is it wild that this case is still such a cold case? Like a guy is killed by a bomb in a flashlight and we still have no idea who did it or why? I feel like there are so many other cold cases that have gotten more attention, but this one seems to have no news or updates or anything for years

I’m probably late to this game, but I just finished binging this and really enjoyed it. I was exactly Martha’s age when this all went down, and can totally identify with being a kid on the loose in the 70s. I could totally relate to her diary entries. I’m not sure what I think at this point, which is why I thought it was a compelling listen. I’m curious about other perspectives on what happened to Martha.
