Wow! I am impressed by the dedication of podcast listeners. I am a newbie at this, still have to be doing something else besides listening....but I do love the variety that is out there. I salute you all, websleuths.

I am truly loving the Podcast "COLD", regarding the disappearance/murder of Susan Powell. This is never ending. It has tentacles and nuances and is certainly my current obsession. There is so much information out there, it is endless. I don't know how I will ever be finished with it.

I listen in the dark in my bed to go to sleep for the night. I can’t do quiet.
Being near-sided, constantly adjusting my glasses and watching the room lightening tv is over. Yay!

I am currently working on re-producing a different way, the podcast I started with my friend. She left us... which... sucks as I was working on making the quality better for us so now... I am flying solo! lol What is posted up now is just my friend and I talking about cases etc. if you guys are interested, please listen to Crime Dolls Podcast.

I'm working on getting my hat back in the game in May, more than likely.

Court Junkie and Casefile are my two favorite podcasts. I like no nonsense and no hamming it up. Does anybody know of any other podcasts similar that are not that heralded.

“Someone Knows Something” is really well done. I also enjoyed “Gone at 21” and “Accused”.

Hello! Thanks for recommending this. I just listened to the whole thing. Very well done, and the host has an easygoing voice and manner. So exciting to hear about new science being developed to ID the Unidentified...

You all might also enjoy Finding Cleo. You can find it on Canadian Broadcasting

Finding Cleo is exceptional. Heartbreaking story and so sad that these families were broken up.

The Vanished podcast with Marissa Jones.

I listen to several podcasts but always look forward to this one. The host is also very active on her FB discussion group and answers questions about the cases she covers.

I like the podcast as well. Very well done, her voice is pleasant and she engages with family members.

What are the best British crime podcasts?

 

[dafurrer]

I do not like Podcasts where it seems like the host is reading their script very quickly or has a monotone voice. Do not like where every other word they use is the F-word. Not necessary if you want it to be professional and classy. Some sound like they get their information from Wikipedia, whereas others actually obtain court records and interview family members. I appreciate the hard, hard work it takes to put out a cast every week, that most are very consistent and take their commitment seriously. I don't mind some banter between hosts ie; True Crime All the Time and True Crime All the Time Unsolved. These guys are funny and during the storytelling, they stop and have some discussion, which I do like. There are many exceptional Podcasts out there, just depending on what type of true crime you like. My favorites are cold cases, disappearances and serial stories.

I am a teacher and currently going through a podcast unit in our contemporary literature class. It is insane how podcasting is actually investigative journalism in action.

My students are listening to Up and Vanished, Bear Brook, Heaven's Gate, and Last Scene. Everyday in class we listen to a different (CLEAN for school obviously) episode of Crime Junkie or Criminal. The students love some podcasts showcase a crime in one episode and how other dissect into MANY episodes. Keep in mind, these are seniors who hate reading so this is perfect.

If you have any recommendations of CLEAN true crime podcasts sort of like the ones listed above, please let me know.

A few clean podcasts I've found interesting is
-Crimeline
-Crime Junkie Podcast
-Criminology
-Generation Why
-Casefile
-True Crime All The Time
-True Crime All The Time Unsolved
All very good podcasts!!! I listen to podcasts all night at work, and these are great clean ones!

Someone knows something is excellent! Very well done, David Ridgen is an investigative journalist as well as a film maker and has won awards. He is also going to be at crimecon this year. Season 3 was especially good.

S Town by Serial was stellar. It got popular and I don't typically follow trends, but found it on accident. It’s not so much about actual murder as it is about dysfunctional crime and ongoings in a small town. At the least, it’s a time filler.

Yes this was a really good one. Couldn’t stop listening. I laughed, I cried- so good

True Crime All the Time & True Crime All the Time Unsolved

True Crime All The Time

 

[blankenship]

There seem to be hundreds of t/c podcasts but still plenty of room for actual good ones. I was disappointed in Dateline's entry into the fray, 13 Alibis. Halfway through the first episode I had lost interest in the case and the central focus of it, the guy who had been convicted, entirely. Also, even tried and true ones which have scores of episodes under their belts run into trouble maintaining interest, inventiveness, quality. Difficult to do.

Crime Junkie is pretty good.

the first degree is all about the facts with minimal ham

Recently discovered "What Happened To Holly Bartlett". A look into the death of a clever, personable, intelligent young grad student... who also happened to be blind.

WHITE LIES
AN INVESTIGATIVE PODCAST FROM NPR

"In 1965, a white minister was murdered in Selma, Alabama. For more than 50 years, witnesses buried the truth about what happened.

Explore a visual narrative of the facts, then listen to the podcast to hear how we finally set the record straight.

This is the story of a murder at the center of the civil rights movement and the lies that kept it from being solved. It’s an event that rippled far beyond the time and place where it happened, sparking national outrage and galvanizing support for one of the most significant laws of the 20th century.

This narrative uses audio and documents recorded and printed in 1965. Some images may be disturbing. We’ve chosen not to censor offensive language..."

James Reeb

"James Reeb (January 1, 1927 – March 11, 1965) was an American Unitarian Universalist minister, pastor, and activist during the Civil rights movement in Washington, D.C. and Boston, Massachusetts. While participating in the Selma to Montgomery marches actions in Selma, Alabama, in 1965, he was murdered by white segregationists, dying of head injuries in the hospital two days after being severely beaten...."
