This series focuses on the estimated 60 victims, and their families, along with the investigations surrounding the cases. Why did two best friends evolve from hunting animals to hunting humans?

Hottest Hell Presents

An investigative journalist and a parapsychologist go head-to-head in this irreverent competition to captivate other spooky nerds like themselves. With each episode, hosts Kimberly and Edward are given a different topic to research. Both receive one week to dive into archives and historical essays to find the TRUE crime, paranormal event, or utterly strange occurrence which best fits their assigned theme. The pair take turns presenting their stories to a panel of reluctant guest judges for feedback, but ultimately it’s the listeners who pick which terrifying, tragic, or totally bizarre true story will be crowned victorious.


Inside Crime

INSIDE CRIME takes you behind the scenes and beyond the headlines. You’ll hear candid conversations with every day people whose lives have been impacted by crime. Host Angeline Hartmann delivers fresh and honest perspective from law enforcement, victims’ families, and survivors about their unique experiences inside crime.


Killer Queens

We’ve taken our shared love of true crime (Bill Kurtis, Cold Case Files, Snapped) and the 90’s (Spice Girls, Clueless, Friends quotes, Lisa Frank stickers) and combined them to make a light true-crime podcast with killer 90’s references. We want you to feel like you’re sitting around a table with your best friends talking about your favorite cases.

At around 7:30pm her vehicle was involved in a single car, non life threatening accident at a hairpin turn on dark & desolate Route 112. She has not been seen or heard from since.

Once Upon a Crime

Once Upon a Crime is a true crime podcast that researches the crime, criminals and victims to discover the “why” behind some infamous crimes as well as fascinating lesser known cases. Presented in a storytelling style, host Esther Ludlow takes you into the lesser known details of each case to present “the story behind the story” you won’t hear anywhere else. Each month a new true crime topic is covered - kidnappings, mass murders, tragic deaths of musical icons, killer kids and deadly duos are just some of the fascinating crimes detailed on Once Upon a Crime.


Serial Killer Brains

SkB is a true crime podcast through which I metaphorically dissect the serial killer’s brain. Are you fascinated by the macabre? Oddly obsessed with serial killers? Have you contemplated what it is that leads to the unspeakable depravity exhibited by serial killers like Ed Kemper, Jeffrey Dahmer, Anthony Sowell, or Danny Rolling? Serial killers captivate us, the horror they wreak fascinates us for we want to understand why they do what they do. Serial killers make us question humanity.


Shattered Souls: A Forensic Detective's Diary


In Shattered Souls: A Forensic Detective’s Diary , veteran forensic investigator Karen Smith opens her detailed and poignant journals from her 11 years as a forensic detective in Jacksonville, Florida. She speaks of trudging through muddy swamps, dangling over crime scenes from a firetruck ladder, and the tremendous emotional toll that the horror of these crimes wreaks on the investigators tasked with solving them.

Karen talks about the nightmares, the emotional and often physical pain, the scares, and the breath-holding, white-knuckle moments from the most haunting cases of her career. They’re victims you’ve probably never heard of, but they’re victims that she can never forget, and their stories - and the shattered souls of loved ones they left behind - are at the heart of every episode.


Sinisterhood

Dallas based comedians and friends, Christie Wallace and Heather McKinney, focus on a different true crime, cult, or creepy topic each week "and chat all things sinister in this funny and well-researched podcast." (Marie Claire, 2020)


The Minds of Madness

Ordinary people who do unthinkable things… Based out of Toronto, ON Canada, The Minds of Madness is a True Crime Podcast that examines the most disturbing criminal minds and the impact violent crimes have on survivors of homicide.


The Philosophy of Crime

Are killers born or are they made? Does everyone have the capacity to commit murder? Why is true crime so popular today? The Philosophy of Crime tackles the biggest questions about unsolved mysteries by looking to classical philosophy for answers. Hosted by award-winning journalist, James Renner, author of True Crime Addict.


The Trail Went Cold

The Trail Went Cold is a weekly true crime podcast which explores baffling unsolved mysteries and cold cases. On each episode, host Robin Warder examines a new murder or missing persons case, tackling a wide variety of mysteries from different countries and time periods. After sharing all the details about each case, Robin offers his own personal analysis and theories about what happened.


Trace Evidence

Steven Pacheco hates unanswered questions. Driven by an urgent “need to know,” Pacheco examines a new unsolved case each week on Trace Evidence. Pacheco’s dedication to the facts is evident each week as he presents all verifiable evidence before discussing the theories surrounding the case (and sometimes interjecting his own). As much as Pacheco wants to find answers, he doesn’t set out to solve the cases he discusses each week. Instead, he seeks to keep the details of the case in the public eye in hopes that someday the answers reveal themselves.


True Crime XS

True Crime XS is a true crime podcast about the aftermath of a serial killer’s suicide and stories as they arise in an investigation into where his potential victims remains may be found.


Verified

In the second season of Verified, Host Natasha Del Toro and the Verified team again ask tough questions about whom we trust and why. This time, they’re investigating whether a group of women developed ovarian cancer from dusting their bodies with Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder—an iconic brand associated with innocence and comfort since the 1800s. One woman's mysterious illness snowballs into thousands of court cases, claiming that baby powder is to blame for their cancer. Verified: Dust Up is the story of a trusted brand’s fight to convince consumers and regulators that baby powder is safe while minimizing the work of the scientists who claim it is not. Verified follows this decades-long journey to ask: Could a product so many of us have in our medicine cabinets be putting us at risk?


Victimology

Victimology: the study of the victims of crime and the psychological effects on them of their experience. Join criminal psychology student, Melissa Lee, as she utilizes her platform to share information about cases new and old, fresh and cold. Victimology is based on facts and is conversational.


Voices for Justice

Voices for Justice is hosted by Sarah Turney. It features the story of missing teen and Sarah's sister, Alissa Turney. Alissa went missing from Phoenix, Arizona in 2001 when she was 17 years old. The only person of interest in Alissa's case is her and Sarah's father. This podcast gives a never before seen and extremely intimate look into the strange circumstances leading up to Alissa's disappearance. Sarah will be reviewing 30+ years of video and audio records, 3000 pages of case record from the nearly 20 year police investigation, and current efforts being made to get justice for Alissa.


What Did You Do?!

What Did You Do?! is a true crime podcast bridging comedy, crime, and wild but informative conversation. Hosts, Charneil and Dee, laugh and cringe while examining some of the most shocking cases from a mental health and social work perspective.


Who Killed…?

Who Killed...? began as a series to bring attention to the Amy Mihaljevic case. During the research, it was clear there are a lot of families who need answers so the podcast has evolved into taking a deep dive into the details of other cases. Hopefully, by providing a voice for the voiceless will help lead to some resolution for all the parties involved in these tragedies.


Women & Crime

As criminologists, we study females who have been victims of crime, those who have committed crimes, and those involved in the criminal justice system through their work. Women & Crime tells the stories of these women, but also looks at the causes of female crime, and victimization.

Women & Crime will cover cases in which women have been wrongfully convicted and exonerated, and use a criminologist lens to look at how women are treated in the criminal justice system. Some of these women you may have heard of but we promise to also bring you cases of women whose names will be new to you. Regardless of the type of case, we will cover a new story involving women and crime each episode.
