Loving the new space!
If you like humour with your crime I would give All Killa No Filla a go.

Serial!
Not quite crime but s town is also very gripping and mysterious. Made by the same people as serial.
There are some individual spisodes of ipm and this american life. Ipm had some episodes about the killing of elsie frost. This american life had one recently about the kidnapping of bobby dunbar.

Crime Writers On is good for tips

Casefile is good if you can bear his rather flat delivery.

Generation Why is pretty good. They go into quite detailed analysis and it's very conversational and easy listening. Gets me through the tedium of folding clothes.

Last Podcast On The Left is my favourite, although it's not for everyone. They cover the occult and conspiracy theories, too.

Generation Why is very thorough. I also like Casefile.

There's a BBC Radio 4 series called Who Killed Elsie Frost which is good.

There's also Someone Knows Something. The first series was the best one and there are ongoing updates. The most recent one was good but the sound editing was appalling and I almost stopped listening due to all the wet sniffling (if you've listened you'll know what I mean!). CBC Radio has a few about Native Canadians that are really good.

I tried My Favourite Murder but their utter lack of knowledge and inane chat got on my nerves.

I recently listened to a spoof crime podcast called Done Disappeared, it's hilarious! The takes on all the popular crime podcasts are spot on and recognisable. But you have to have listened to a few different to really get the humour and references. Worth a listen if you have.

Untold: The Daniel Morgan Murder - absolutely incredible podcast

I'm enjoying Court Junkie as well

Black hands was really good

And the spoof: A very fatal murder

I would advise using discretion though. I've read lots of true crime stuff over the years. Someone recommended The Vanishing podcast. I duly listened to episode one Jhessye Shockley and I found it fundamentally upsetting. Be aware!

Casefile it my favourite by far. I like the style, not too much faffing and talking about other stuff.

I like Real Crime Profile too.

Generation Why can be good as well.

There’s a new weekly one from the BBC world service called Death in ice valley that is shaping up to be a good one.

Ear Hustle is brilliant. It's very different from the typical true crime podcast. It doesn't take a particular crime and investigate it. Instead it's recorded inside San Quintin prison and has stories of life inside prison.

Did anyone else have the problem when listening to Untold that it kept breaking off mid sentence for adverts? Including in what I think was Dutch?

No I didn't experience that tobee! How strange.

Last podcast on the left is amazing! You have to be ok with shouty American blokey blokes but it is incredibly well researched.

I think the presenters really make a difference. I really took to Sarah Koenig (Serial) and the presenter of Accused.
