True Crime Podcasts - Recommendations Please

[PickledPurplePickle]

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts - I like mini series, so like Bear Brook, Broken Hearts and recently I listened to My Aunt & The Hitman on the Foul Play podcast which was excellent

Any others like this that you would recommend?

Have you listened to The Lady Vanishes? There are lots of episodes so maybe start with the catch up episodes. I can tell you what number they are if you need it.

Thanks, just found it!

Came here for new suggestions but was surprised nobody has mentioned Anatomy of Murder or Deathbed Confessions. Two of my favourites! The others I like have been mentioned already :)

Try Shandee's story for another Hedley investigation. Totally agree on his voice - so soothing.

One that was just released is Exposed: Cover up at Columbia university.

Just finished it, it was very good.

I've just finished The Teacher's Pet, what the hell will I listen to next ,what will top it? It was brilliant and I could listen to Headley's voice all day long!

I agree with you about Headley's voice. Try Someone Knows Something. David Ridgen's voice is another one I could listen to all day. He's also a very similarly ethical journalist. Likewise Bill Rankin's podcast Breakdown (from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.) The second season in particular is an incredibly level and fair look at a heartbreaking case.

It's actually a mockumentary but This Sounds Serious is brilliant.

Mini series of a faux true crime podcast, there are 3 series.

I'd really recommend it

I'm 5 episodes into The Last Vanishes, it's great. Have taken a note of all the other recommendations,thanks 😊

Lots of the ones mentioned here.

Recently really enjoyed Scamanda - not murder, but proper jaw-dropping true crime. Multi-episode series.

Also 'In the Dark' (The New Yorker series)
'Suspect'

And almost anything Serial does or any Wondery True Crime. Great productions.

The Lady Vanishes is very good but sooo long, I think they could edit at least a quarter of the episodes,I find myself skipping forward a lot.

Teacher’s Pet and The Lighthouse are both excellent. The Lady Vanishes is a worthy listen but I wish it had been better edited. Yes to David Ridgen. He’s not only excellent at what he does but, like Hedley Thomas from The Teacher’s Pet, he’s got a great voice and approach towards people. Very sensitive and considerate. Connie Walker is another great Canadian journalist who delves into the murders of indigenous women.

Just started teachers pet. Thanks for the suggestion!

Cold (first series is excellent - the ultimate 'deep dive' podcast)
Paradise
The Teacher's Pet
The Lighthouse

And the one I don't really like: Crime Junkie - which I find a) distastefully sensationalist and b) a 'case a week' nonsense of info cobbled together from the internet/newspapers that doesn't offer much in the way of depth or analysis.

Paradise was really excellent.

I've finished The Lady Vanishes, I honestly think at least half of it is repetition and waffle. Otherwise it's good. Seem to end rather abruptly though?

Just started My Sister's Secrets but finding it a bit gruesome and very graphic so might have to stop listening to that and try Paradise instead which looks promising.

Have they finished it yet? I think it still gets updated as and when. Has the coroner returned a verdict yet? Weren’t the6 waiting for something?

The lady vanishes isn't finished. They are still waiting on coroner's verdict and then fingers crossed criminal proceedings

Ah right,that makes sense. I'm new to podcasts 🤣

I'm listening to The Teachers Trial which is the trial of Chris Dawson in The Teachers Pet now.

Headley Thomas again ,honestly his voice... <swoon>

The Prosecutors take on the Adnan Syed case provided lots more detail and completely changed my mind

The casual criminalist (on Spotify and YouTube)

Used to like my favourite murder and Redhanded but gone off them a bit as the crimes are treated in a lighthearted fashion which I find uncomfortable.
Listening to Down the hill and West Cork at the moment

For the Headley Thomas fans, he’s back.

Bronwyn - very similar to Teachers Pet.

Thank you!!!

I like Crime Junkie and the spin offs The Deck and Counter Clock.

Just want to warn people before starting to listen that 2 episodes are subscriber only. Pissed me off as I already subscribe to Spotify,I don't want to pay twice. Hope this doesn't become a common thing for pod casts.
