I want a great true story that will make me want to go to bed and shove my airpods in.

Any recommendations?

I loved West Cork too. I also loved the following true crime podcasts:

The Teacher's Pet
What Happened to Annie
The Strange Death of Innes Ewart
The Doorstep Murder
The Night Driver
Death in Ice Valley
S-Town
Untold:The Daniel Morgan Murder (recently referenced in Line of Duty)

Thank you so much. I have loved a few of these but not heard of others so will look them up.

Currently doing the Battersea Poltergeist but not blown away by it

"Down the hill" is an incredible podcast! The makers did a brilliant job of telling the whole story and exploring different theories. Would highly recommend!

I loved West Cork too, so much so I've just finished it again. Have also Re-listened to Death in Ice Valley it's so good. Finding Cleo, Someone Knows something ( 6 seasons all brilliant) and Who killed Emma? (BBC sounds) also worth checking out.

Loving Down The Hill! Thank you for the recommendation.

I haven't finished it yet but am shocked by how shit the Indiana police are!

I have just finished Killer Book Club a true crime in Oxfordshire. I was drawn to this as so many seem to be American.

The author is also American but has lived inthe UK for many years.

I really enjoyed the ins and outs, twists and turns. I got this for free through my Audible membership and am looking for more.

Sorry NOT Oxfordshire it was Buckinghamshire!!

Try Crime Analyst - Laura Richards is just finishing a deep dive into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier and discusses the West Cork podcast as well as the Netflix show Murder at The Cottage.

The series covers lots of other cases, though it’s initial main focus when it started earlier this year was the murders committed by Peter Sutcliffe - www.crime-analyst.com/

Another one I’d highly recommend is Real Crime Profile, which started about 4 years ago and though it is mainly focussed on US crimes Laura Richards, creator of the Crime Analyst podcast above, is one of the co-hosts and they cover plenty of high profile cases including the murders of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ron Goldman (OJ Simpson); the murder of Reeva Steenkamp (Oscar Pistorius); the murder of Meredith Kercher; the disappearance of Madeline McCann; the case against Jeffrey Epstein; the case against Bill Cosby; the case against Michael Jackson; the case against Woody Allen and most recently the murder of Gabby Petito.

They also have very interesting discussions with ex-FBI (one of the co-hosts, Jim Clemente, is ex-FBI) agents talking through how they profile cases, what they do in particular circumstances, etc. They focus heavily on the psychological profile of the criminals whilst always being respectful to the victims.

Hunting Warhead. A very disturbing subject but and incredible account how a load of peadophiles globally were rounded up on the dark web by the authorites.

The Nobody Zone.
A review from the Guardian
I must admit, The Nobody Zone – made by RTÉ in Ireland and Third Ear in Denmark – was an easy sell to me. A story about an Irish person living in London, who turned out to be one of the UK’s most notorious serial killers, was always going to intrigue an Irish person, living in London (who isn’t a serial killer – promise).

In the first episode of this six-part true crime series, Tim Hinman introduces us to Kieran Patrick Kelly, a homeless man who, in 1983, spent two weeks confessing to multiple murders he had committed over the previous 30 years. The people he killed were from the so-called “Nobody Zone” – they were nobodies to anyone, who existed in the same dangerous underworld as Kelly.

Teasing music, intricate sound design and an old cassette tape of one of the police interviews set the scene nicely. But the real genius is in the scripting. By the end of the opening episode, I wondered why Kelly’s spree lasted decades, and why I had never heard of him – or his vulnerable victims

Glad suggestions are still coming in- I'm a total true crime podcast addict, especially love the deep dives and I'm struggling to find anything new but thanks to @fairislecable I've just finished the Killer Book Club. I had either watched a documentary about this case or read something previously so I knew the basic outline but the podcast is really interesting.

Haven't listened to The Nobody Zone so going to give that a go too- thank you @notacooldad

@Kittensahoy if you enjoy the deep dives then I can’t recommend Real Crime Profile highly enough!
