I realized that a lot of you have followed me because of this series that I created on podcast that I listen to. For that, I want to say thank you 😊. So here is another list of true crime podcasts that have caught my attention.
... Read moreHey everyone! So glad you're enjoying my podcast series. It really means a lot, especially when I see so many of you digging into the true crime world with me. Since so many of you are curious about Crime Junkie (and who isn't, right?!), I wanted to dive a little deeper into why it's a staple on my playlist and probably yours too!
First off, for anyone who hasn't dived into it yet, Crime Junkie is hosted by Ashley Flowers and Brit Prawat. They do an incredible job of presenting cases in a clear, concise, and incredibly engaging way. What I really appreciate is their dedication to victims and their families – it's always at the forefront of their storytelling. They cover a mix of solved and unsolved cases, cold cases, and even current mysteries, making sure there's always something new and thought-provoking to listen to. It's produced by audiochuck, and honestly, that company has such a great lineup of true crime content, it's worth checking out their other podcasts too if you haven't!
For me, the chemistry between Ashley and Brit is what truly hooks you. It feels like you're just chatting with friends about a case, but with all the detailed research laid out beautifully. They often encourage listeners to get involved, share information, and advocate for victims, which I think is such a powerful aspect of their show. If you're new to it, I'd suggest starting with some of their most popular episodes – just scroll through their feed, you'll see the high ratings!
Now, while Crime Junkie holds a special place, my other recommendations offer fantastic experiences too. For instance, Unseen brings a unique twist by focusing on aspects of cases that documentaries often miss, giving you a fresh perspective. And if you're interested in the psychological and sociological angles of crime, Women and Crime, hosted by two criminologists, is absolutely fascinating. Hearing their expert analysis on female-focused cases provides such a rich layer to the storytelling. Then there's Snapped: Women Who Murder, which is great if you're already a fan of the TV show – it's like having those full episodes in your ear, perfect for commuting or working out!
Finding these gems is usually easiest on Spotify, but don't forget there are tons of other podcast apps out there like Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Stitcher. Just search for them by name! I usually download a few episodes for my commute, or when I'm doing chores around the house. It makes mundane tasks so much more interesting.
What are some of your favorite Crime Junkie episodes, or other true crime podcasts that keep you up at night? I'd love to hear your thoughts and maybe even add some new ones to my ever-growing list!
