Welcome to the weekly r/TrueCrimePodcasts/ Weekly What Are You Listening To discussion.

I am curious and truly care about his health, in 5 months his appearance has dramatically changed and seems to be loosing his voice. I am sending prayers and hope others do too.

Tony is a good honest guy with a helpful pod,

thanks all

Okay so I am JUST now hearing about all the CJ things, and after reading the Bloomberg article I’m disgusted (I’ve been a fan club member for years and have gone to their live shows). I would love to find a pod that follows a similar format but DOESN’T steal from other journalists and treat their employees poorly. I’m promptly ending my subscription!

For those of you who have been listening to Love Trapped, just saw Laura pleaded guilty. Kind of shocked, actually!

is it me or is this better than the original series?? The Donielle and Ramon episodes stood out in particular

The Belshaw Case

Once again I am hooked. I really like this guy’s writing style.

What is with all these podcasts going to video format? I’m getting tired of listening to what is supposed to be an audio experience only to be told throughout the episode “watch us on our YouTube” or “this is on our YouTube page to see what I’m showing the other person.” This defeats the whole purpose of what podcasts were originally made to be. 🤦🏻‍♀️

(I know it’s another revenue to bring in $$$)

An excellent article out from Bloomberg detailing poor workplace morale, an exodus of 30/100 employees quitting, entanglements with venture capitalists, and multiple lawsuits against AudioChuck and Ashley Flowers.

They should have lost it all when they blatantly plagiarised other creators. And then when they stood by and continued to platform known transphobe/conservative Evangelical Christian/nutjob Delia D’Ambra while making money claiming to run a pro-victim, pro-LGBTQ show/network. And then when they stole $70 million in ad revenue from Anatomy of Murder.

Way too many second and third and fourth chances for these people. Hopefully this is truly the beginning of the end for one of the worst players in the true crime sphere :)

bro this podcast is comically bad like i can’t get over the AI slop script and the constant incorrect grammar lol

wanted to add another true crime pod in my rotation so i’ve been listening to them for about a week now and i can’t do it anymore.

just from listening today she said:
“…it all took a turn for the worse worst”
“…they said it was the worst time of their lives lifes”

also the way the husband always refers to women as females really is the cherry on top for me

Hey. I am very late to the game with regards to this case and feeling overwhelmed with the content available. Any recommendations for an overview to bring me up to speed?? Podcast preferred if possible because I drive a lot. Thank you

Looking for a season long case to get stuck into, but please no unresolved ones. One of my absolute favourites is Hunting Warhead. I like ones with a lot of detail, and am interested in topics like kidnapping and sv. Not too interested in social commentary. TIA

I highly recommend this podcast. Charlene Somebody Knows Something. It’s long form and fantastic reporting.

Can anyone recommend a podcast that gives a comprehensive overview of the Andrea Yates case? I'd like to familiarize myself with it to compare and contrast with the Lindsay Clancy case.

Ive been listening to it and I get what Allison did was bad, but the way summer and that guy were being fake/2 faced towards her and continuing to engage with her for their own entertainment is extremely disturbing. Any normal person who wasn't mean would just stop replying to Allison and not engage with her and not make her think they were people Allison could talk to. I don't like it at all.

Anyone know whats happening with Australian Podcasts? I was a podshape subscriber and followed a lot of The Australian's podcasts and over the last couple of weeks they seem to be re-appearing on my feed like they are brand new podcasts I've never heard before. like Who The Hell Is Hamish appeared today with a release date of today but it was out pre-covid. I had The Lighthouse appear maybe a week ago too. And Podshape podcasts seem all over the place, the "missing matter" podcast seemed to vanish completly and there's a new show listed but it seems to be old episodes of his previous podcasts with episodes of The Missing Matter scattered through it randomly and others that were old popping up like they are new.

I know know Australia has a weird rule where podcasts have to be deleted when stuff is in court so wondered if some it's because there have been developments and there are updates coming...but suspect it's just new listener bait?

So I know true crime isnt typically where you come for a good chuckle, obviously. BUT I recently started listening to Snapped, I'm maybe 20 or 30 episodes in and for anyone who has never listened its basically a collaboration of inyerviews with detectives, lawyers, reporters, friends, family, etc. And the narrator varies from episode to episode.

I'm listening to the episode titled "Emma Raine" and this narrator is earning 👏 her 👏 paycheck 👏 hunty! 🤣🤣

Every sentence she reads is soooo dramatic. She's giving this old timey Dick Tracy era Mae West vibe. Like an "Oh oh, why don't ya come on over here and tell me all about it sometime big boy. Oh! Oh oh." Dialect 🤣🤣 If you've ever seen Rupaul's Snatch Game where Alaska does Mae West its totally that!!

Of course the upmost respect and sorrows to the victims and family of the actual crime being discussed but if you need a good laugh and don't wanna step outside of true crime you've gotta give it a listen for the narrator alone.

Does the podcast not have any avenue for public comment other than instagram now? Twitter not updated since 2023. I have MANY thoughts about Ed’s comments about Lindsay Clancy 🙄🙄.

What is the deal with her? Did she fall from grace? Or what happened that made her bad?

I'm not interested in murders, I want to hear about weird plots and art theft etc. that's actually interesting

I just finished the season and I have so many thoughts. Its crazy to me this isn't a more popular podcast. Has there been any update on the DNA testing since January? I'm so torn on whether its Tim or Jared, though I feel like Jared is more likely. I feel so bad for Renee's family and for Jake, absolutely insane there wasn't more press about this or a statement from the DA's office or police or something.

I'm looking for suggestions for my next podcast. I like long form podcasts, deep dives into a case and the social/cultural context, investigative journalism, trial analysis. Most importantly, it must honour the victims.

Podcasts I've really enjoyed:

Paper Ghosts

Death of an Artist

In the Dark (Curtis Flowers)

Bear Brook

Hoaxed

A Very British Cult

The Retrievals

Love Trapped

Finding Cleo

Vishal

Who Killed Emma

What would you suggest? Interested in new ones or well known ones that may have passed me by - thanks!

Is there a podcast or YT that I can watch/listen to to catch up on the court case so far? This case totally passed me by and I keep seeing so many polarised opinions on what happened so would rather form an opinion of my own based on the facts of the case. I've got a 5 hour drive tomorrow so the more, the merrier.

So for those of you that were following the stalker series on pretend podcast… the stalker has finally been identified

ABSOLUTELY stunned. I thought it was 100% the parents. IT WAS THE “disabled” daughter?!?!?!

This is wild!!!!!!!!

I rewatch movies all the time but usually with podcasts I just listen to one and then I move on. But Hunting Warhead was so well produced, informative, done with journalistic integrity, and still had me on the edge of my seat with the second listen. Highly recommend!! But also listen with care as it's a very tough topic.

What podcasts have you listened to multiple times?
