Killer Podcasts

B said This. Podcast. Has. EVERYTHING. I’ve listened to this podcast since it’s inception - this is one cult you can join without needing to call your Dad. Karen and Georgia have come a long way with this podcast, co-writing a book, creating their own podcast network Exactly Right and selling out thousands of tickets to live shows. I feel lucky to have attended one in Minneapolis the first year they went on tour. These ladies sit crooked and talk straight. So Look, Listen. SSDGM.

B said Ashley’s story telling will keep you on the edge of your seat. Dog lovers: Stay tuned for the “Pruppet of the Month”

B said Phoebe Judge has the best podcast voice. Criminal covers every type of crime and includes commentary from the criminals themselves.

B said Wine. Crime. Minnesotan Accents. These gals are HILARIOUS and if you haven’t seen Drop Dead Gorgeous a million times like us vitamin midwesterners you won’t get to be included in all of the inside jokes. (Go watch it on HULU right. NOW.) And then binge this podcast. Get some wine knowledge from Amanda, Background & Psych from Lucy and related crime stories from Amanda and Kenyon. Nice POP!

B said Is this table nailed down? Grab your garbage bell and be prepared to ring your heart out. Patrick Hinds and Gillian Pensavalle provide expert coverage of true crime documentaries with a whole lot of sass. These two are absolutely hilarious and have the best commentary. When the other true crime podcasts get too dark but you’re too obsessed with true crime to quit listening to it - this podcast is here to brighten your mood.

B said I know; this podcast isn’t about true crime but it covers literally everything you never knew you wanted to know about. Even if you think you might not be interested in all of the subjects, listen anyway -Alie Ward will change your mind and your life. If you’re into the darker stuff and want to know the science behind it all, check out these episodes of Ologies: 80. Victimology (CrimeVictim) 59. Corvid Thanatology (Crow Funerals), 15. Hematology (Blood), 7. Thanatology (Death & Dying) and more.

B said Like a mix of true crime and the paranormal? Em & Christine have got you covered.

B said If you like resolve, this may not be the podcast for you - Thin Air covers missing persons cases, but it’s important to keep talking and bringing attention to these cases so that maybe one day, we will find the truth.

B said There isn’t another podcast that goes more in depth with their research. If you want to know every detail - this podcast is great.

B said Host and narrator Madeleine Baran does such an excellent job with in-depth/investigative reporting, you’ll be on the edge of your seat. The first season covers Jacob Wetterling, who went missing in 1989. When this podcast began, the case was still unsolved. You’ll know the truth before it’s over.

B said The first season covers the murder of Elizabeth Andes in 1978. The main suspect: her boyfriend Bob Young. But is it really ALWAYS the boyfriend?

B said Paul Holes. Need I say more?

B said If you like some comedic relief with your crime podcasts - check this one out. And Keep It Weird.

B said Would you like to hear commentary from Lisa Simpson (aka Yeardley Smith)? Check out this podcast. It has first person perspective from detectives on the cases and an abundance of real recordings from those cases as well.

B said Many podcasts have been covering the Golden State Killer but Man in the Window gives perspective straight from the survivors and other people directly involved in the cases.

B said This podcast covers serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards. Host John Dean and Edward Wayne Edwards’ daughter April Balascio investigate his crimes and the possibility of others he may have committed.

B said The first season covers the Atlanta Monster: Wayne Bertram Williams. Hear from the man himself and others who knew him as well as investigators involved in the case. Was Wayne the real monster? Or is the wrong man behind bars?

B said This podcast is a real whirlwind - hear from relatives of George Hodel, a suspect of the Black Dahlia Murder. Riveting, tragic and sad. Buckle up - this one is dark.

B said Barrels are found in the woods...containing bodies.

B said This podcast does a deep dive on Israel Keyes, a serial killer nobody knew about until he was caught for his last murder in 2012. Here you’ll listen to his chilling interviews with police. Admittedly this podcast could use a little work, especially with the random ad placements...but it’s still a very interesting look into a serial killer many people know little about.

B said This is actually one of the first podcasts I ever listened to way back when it was new. The first season is the best one; it covers the murder of Hae Min Lee. Her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed is serving time for the murder...but did he really do it?

B said Did you already listen to all of the new episodes of your favorite true crime podcasts for the week? No need to wait here. There’s a new episode EVERY DAY.

B said This podcast follows the rape and murder of Kaylee Sawyer and the capture of her killer.

B said Vanessa provides a lot of research on the psychology of each serial killer presented in this podcast. (You may recognize her voice from Today in True Crime.) Greg does a great job narrating this podcast as well. They both provide a lot of detail in a short amount of time.

B said Detective Trapp is a bad ass woman.

B said lol Burke did it - okay but jokes aside this case is so insane. This podcast goes down all the avenues... and hits all the dead ends.

B said The police are still holding many of the details of this case close to the chest - a single sound bite and video clip of the man who committed the crime is all that has been released thus far; leaving us all perplexed as to why this killer hasn’t been caught yet. The local police are taking this crime very seriously while remaining optimistic that one day, this killer will be caught and brought to justice.
