I love podcasts but only of a certain genre. The criteria is:

  • a true story
  • that builds over the episodes rather than one story each episode
  • not too grisly
  • and that preferably reaches a conclusion (have listened to a few mystery type ones recently that are just frustrating because there's just endless speculation and no answers)

Some I have really liked are:

  • last man standing
  • I am not a monster
  • the fake heiress
  • the dropout
  • dr death
  • flight 149
  • Tiffany Dover is dead
  • wind of change.

Does anyone have any suggestions that fit the above please?

Thought of another one - Black Hands - very interesting case set in New Zealand.

Interested in this thread?

Missing Richard Simmons was good.

RitzyTitzy · 24/07/2022 21:58

"Welcome to your fantasy" is excellent. All about the men who set up and owned the chippendales and eventually went to war with each other. Properly gripping and also cool to hear all the behind the scenes stories of what it was like to be part of that whole scene.

Fairy Meadow, it's about the abduction of a 3yr old in Australia. Really interesting and quite sad.

DrHildegardeLanstrom · 24/07/2022 22:08

Girl, Taken on BBC sounds

Interesting listen about a conwoman

Also this thing of darkness , two series but a drama so might not be what you are after

Started twin flames and I'm hooked !

Beetr00t · 27/07/2022 14:23

What a great thread! I've just listened to my first ever true crime, Sweet Bobby, and thought it was excellent. I wouldn't like one that didn't have a conclusion though either. So I've made a list from this thread. Thank you!

Dreikanter · 27/07/2022 14:41

I’ve enjoyed:

Death in Ice Valley
Paradise
The Doorstep Murder
Who is George Gibney (TW for sexual abuse)
The Strange Death of Innes Ewart
The Body on the Moor
Bodies in the Garden
Chasing Charlie
Fairy Meadow
Girl Taken
Lady Killers
No Body Recovered
Who Killed Emma (not currently available due to court case)

All on BBC sounds.

VittysCardigan · 28/07/2022 09:15

Thank you to whoever suggested Intrigue, really enjoying it

pippinsleftleg · 24/07/2022 17:53

The Lady Vanishes - it’s currently happening in real time as the case is going to court.

I’m on about episode 14 and it’s the best podcast ever.

hattie43 · 14/08/2022 17:12

I'm currently listening to no strings attached the story where a husband cuts his wife's parachute to kill her but she survived the fall.
What I'm really enjoying is that's it's English spoken by Robert Murphy . I'm a bit jaded with the American / Ausie slow drawweelll

Coroico97 · 14/08/2022 19:20

It’s been mentioned in passing before but I listen to a lot of these - and Down the Hill really stayed with me.

NegroniNonna · 14/08/2022 21:16

StressyMcStressFace · 24/07/2022 19:54

No strings attached is a series about a man who tried to murder his wife by tampering with her parachute. Brilliantly presented and really intriguing!

@StressyMcStressFace thank you so much for the recommendation- fascinating podcast!

BruisedSkies · 14/08/2022 22:28

@StressyMcStressFace just started listening, thanks

Pumperthepumper · 14/08/2022 22:30
