Can anyone recommend a good podcast to listen to? I like documentaries and crime, not novels or stories.

no annoying accents either. Anyone?

Sweet Bobby had me captivated. Much better than the Netflix program.

I’ve just finished Who Killed Bob - which is an odd Australian case, I found it quite fascinating.

Dear Rachelle (again Australian) has just taken an interesting twist as well.

The Witch Farm - if you like paranormal.

Shreds: Murder in the Bay is shocking.

British Scandal

I can second Teachers Pet

DrAmanitaPhalloides · 24/09/2025 17:55

Agree with PP. Australian podcasts are great!

I like every town has a dark side, uk true crime & lights out

The Teacher's Pet, followed by The Teacher's Trial - An absolutely gripping case about a school teacher who was having an affair with a 15 year old school girl from his class in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney. Then his wife disappeared...

Serial - very gripping case examining the 1999 murder of Baltimore high school student Hae Min Lee and the conviction of her ex-boyfriend, Adnan Syed.

Casefiles - podcast series about true crime. Some very distressing tales.

I'm currently working my way through Weird in the Wade on BBC Sounds.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0jzkxxk

It's not all about ghosties and ghoulies, there's some interesting local and societal history there as well. And no, I don't live in Biggleswade!

WaxworkWarboys · 24/09/2025 18:16

They’re very much not for everyone but I like Radio Rental and Let’s Not Meet. The former is people telling their true stories of creepy things that happened to them, think stalkers, being followed in the woods, catfishing, with the occasional paranormal story thrown in. The latter is much the same but it’s the host reading out other people’s stories.

chuzzlewitthechipmunk · 24/09/2025 18:17

Sherlock and Co! It’s a modern retelling of Sherlock and very entertaining.

Sunset6 · 24/09/2025 18:24

Cautionary Tales (presented by Tim Harford). Excellent true stories from recent history that reveal a lot about human nature.

Prisonbreak · 24/09/2025 18:25

Extinct zoo - if you like documentaries you might like this. Fascinating stuff about all sorts of extinct dinos/mammals etc!

Babalish · 24/09/2025 19:03

Coatbridge
Mother, neighbour, Russian spy

Both excellent crime podcasts

DesiccatedCoconut · 24/09/2025 19:18

The Shrink Next Door (Wondery) is brilliant if you haven't listened to it before. If you enjoy paranormal kind of stuff, Astonishing Legends is fab.

OutOfWaterAgain · 24/09/2025 19:24

I second British Scandal. It's very entertainingly told.

ErikaReadsTheDailyMail · 24/09/2025 19:31

Death in Ice Valley is great.
