Don’t judge us but we are both massive fans of true crime podcasts! Seriously, we are both amazingly good at identifying the guilty and not guilty folk, now! I’d call us ‘experts’ in fact! ? (as well as being digital marketing and SEO specialists, of course!)
We thought we would put together a list of our favourite podcasts for you, should you wish to join us on our true-crime podcast path!
Not all of these episodes are for the faint-hearted. Jillian is a fantastic narrator and has one of the most interesting jobs in the world (if you ask us anyway!) You can find Court Junkie on Facebook too @CourtJunkie
High profile, true crime and unsolved murder cases. Such an eye-opener. Gripping.
This is a podcast not just about true crime – it covers the more complicated stories of people who have done wrong, been wronged, and/or got caught somewhere in the middle.
One word…. HOOKED. Season one of Serial delves into the case of Hae Min Lee, who disappeared in 1999. Hae’s boyfriend Adnan Syed was arrested and later convicted of Hae’s murder… But did he do it? (Top tip: if you don’t already know this case, do not Google it!)
Created by the team behind Serial, we were pretty excited to try this one out, and we were not disappointed! You’ll meet John in S-Town, John hates the Alabama town he lives in and asks reporters to come and investigate a young man who has been bragging about getting away with murder. The twists and turns in S-Town will send you on an emotional roller coaster. You have to try this one!
If you love a twisty tale, you’ll enjoy this one! “Debra Newell is a successful interior designer. She meets John Meehan, a handsome man who seems to check all the boxes: attentive, available, just back from a year in Iraq with Doctors Without Borders. But her family doesn’t like John, and they get entangled in an increasingly complex web of love, deception, forgiveness, denial, and ultimately, survival. Reported and hosted by Christopher Goffard from the L.A. Times.”
Not all heinous crimes take place in America! They walk among us is a podcast dedicated to true crime stories in BRITAIN. Yes… that’s right, BRITAIN. It’ll have you double-checking you’ve locked your doors every night!
West Cork is available for free on Audible, so you will need to set up an account to listen to it, but it’s definitely worth it. West cork delves into the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier which took place in (you’ve guessed it) West Cork in 1996. The prime suspect is going to trial in the UK this year.
3 seasons of unsolved disappearances. Very captivating. Season 2 was definitely a favourite in the Digital-Blah office (Frankie’s car). The host David, interviews family and acquaintances of the missing people, trying to connect the dots.
Don’t miss out on this total greatness – jump on-board the true crime podcasts with us and tell us about the ones that you like too – we are bound to get involved!
**PODCAST UPDATE 2020**
It’s been a little while since we wrote this blog and we have some extra podcasts to add to our list – we hope you love them as much as us and would love to hear your feedback on which are your favs…
True Crime Garage (I personally can not get enough!)
Each week Nic and the Captain fire up the true crime garage flying ship fueled with beer, great discussion and listener participation. The garage covers a new case each week from headline news to local real-life horror stories. UNMISSABLE!
A podcast about a medical system that failed to protect patients at every possible turn from a neurosurgeon who claimed he was the best in Dallas.
Two murders, months apart, in Houston. The young victims knew each other, but did they also know their elusive killer? Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz takes you inside one of the most twisted and confounding cases he’s ever covered.
Happy podcasting guys!
