r/TrueCrimePodcasts

Hi all. I have just finished Uncover: The Expert Witness, another quality CBC podcast. They seem to be continually producing some of the best true crime and true crime adjacent content out there. I think I have listened to most of the well-known ones including Somebody Knows Something, Missing & Murdered, Hunting Warhead S1&2, Sea of Lies, The Kill List etc.

Can anyone recommend any lesser known gems? Are any other seasons of Uncover worth a listen.

Wow. I just binged “Beyond all Repair”, that was a WILD ride. It was put out back in 2024 so I’m a little behind but It was exceptional. If you haven’t listened, I highly recommend. I still don’t know where I fall at the end!

I just finished Season 5 of Dr. Death. I’m lived in the area that Dr. Schneider was practicing while he was there.

I know of a man who had spinal surgery, had a terrible outcome, and exhibited all of the same symptoms Schneider’s other victims showed. He was my college professor, and I spent a lot of time working in his office as his aide.

He passed away several years ago, but the surgery was several years before his death. Something he told me before the surgery echoes in my head.

He told me the surgery he was having involved boring open the canals for the nerves to exit the spine to decompress the nerves. He said only a rockstar surgeon could do it. Sounds like something Schneider would tell a patient.

He was sent with no pain meds after surgery, and spent the next few years in agony. He’d walk in to the classroom, toss me the notes, and have me teach the class because he couldn’t bear the pain.

Any doc can have a bad outcome, but I can’t shake the feeling. My professor has died, so I can’t ask him.

Does anyone know the timeline for when he was practicing in Billings? The articles I found didn’t have it. I could narrow the date of the surgery down to a year or two, I think.

Nina announced that Already Gone is ending so she can focus more on her work with the murdered and missing project in Michigan. AG was one of the first podcast that I listened to and I have listened to it for years. Nina's soothing voice and diligent research have been a sharp contrast to the sensationalism that newer podcasts seem to have. I highly recommend a listen to the back catalog. Good luck, Nina and thanks!

I started listening a few weeks ago and I noticed they completely stopped publishing a few months ago, in the middle of a multi-part serie about the Delphi murders wich is odd. Anyone knows what happened to the creators ?

I'm a pretty casual listener, but I do listen to them while I'm doing my hair and it takes a couple hours.

I used to listen to Rotten Mango but i have recently grown to dislike the way she speaks about these cases and it truly upsets me how biased she is towards one side. She will take the color of someone shirt and say its childish if it's the abuser's and then in the next video note how the victim looked so sweet for the same color of shirt. Dude.. you dont need to add your third grade psycoanalysis to this, the guy killed someone, I already hate him; it's like she's gossping with her husband about her office drama instead of a very serious crime. Truly upsetting and I really have to change.

If anyone knows of a podcast/YouTube channel that is actually respectful and objective towards the cases it covers, I would really appreaciate it.

I just watched the netflix doco Maternal Instinct and oh boy...what a horrible woman. I highly recommend the doco it was really good but man do I feel for all the people she destroyed.

It seems like she is a bit of a Scamanda/eLIESabeth type of character. I was just wondering if anyone has listened to any good coverage of this case?

Slumping in my current listen, as they've trotted out a psychic. It got me curious if anyone could cite any instances where a psychic provided concrete and fruitful assistance,?

I am currently on holiday and have listened to this entire podcast by the pool. It’s about an exoneration and the background to the murder the case is centred around. Initially l disliked the narrators affect, thinking the podcast was going to go down the route of melodramatic framing. But l was wrong, this is solid journalism and story telling. The podcast is both compelling and staggering and excellent quality and you’ll be infuriated by the end.
It’s up there with one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to.

It might be the tv programme that did it for me. The main person Harkirat just sounds like a desperate silly person? I don't want to slander her but I was actually laughing at the whole thing. Like people are saying OMG IT WAS HER OWN COUSIN...but noone is looking at how gullible and stupid Harkirat is?

I also felt like the whole ordeal is soo childish and laughable. Like, desperation of love and how in the Netflix series the happy music is playing in the background when shes describing how in love she is making it sound cute. I found the whole thing cringe and stupid lol.

I had my palm on my face the whole time. I didn't feel sorry for anyone, I was just laughing my head off.

Am I the only one who felt like this?

Seems like everyone is just shocked at the cousin but not questioning the sanity of the main person lol.

I hadn’t really listened to podcasts for almost a year. I just lost the desire, and nothing I came across was interesting enough to pull me back in.

A few days ago, though, I stumbled upon Hunting the Suicide Salesman. I had already listened to the first season, Hunting Warhead, which is still one of, if not the best podcast I’ve ever listen to. So I had to give season two a try, and it didn’t disappoint.

That sent me down the rabbit hole again.
Next, I listened to Adults in the Room, which I really enjoyed, followed by Love Trapped, which was a solid listen and kept me wanting more.

Today I finished Sea of Lies, It instantly became one of my all time favorites. I genuinely couldn’t stop listening.

It’s great to be excited about podcasts again.
So now I’m curious. What outstanding true crime podcasts have I missed over the past year? I’d love to hear your recommendations.
And finally, thanks to this community. I’ve always enjoyed reading the discussions and discovering new shows here, so it’s good to be back.

Spoilers !!!

This is about this Italian Doctor Paulo something who claimed to have invented an amazing new way to create bio or semi bio trachea - Its an interesting story bur what a shame that it was not more involved with the science and surgeries- how did people just let this happen!??? I guess I need to watch the documentary.

Also- The Pope will officiate? Come on girl.

I found it quite Meh but then also extra frustrated because at least let’s go into some interesting details about the relationship since you focused on it.

First .. who has friends like this who will travel with you to check your ex’s house lol .. was he at least good in bed? Like give us SOMETHING

The others who were accused give two sided reporting maybe instead of just stating what happened

I love me a good true crime podcast but this is getting absurd. Every single true crime podcast is regurgitating Netflix documentaries. If you are a true crime fan enough to enjoy podcasts, you are most likely going to watch new TC docs. I get on Spotify multiple times a day hoping a new episode dropped and every single podcast is covering the Shirilla doc and the Maternal instinct. Do they not see the other 300 TCP that have already dropped an episode on them? And it’s just regurgitation. We are good! Stop it! It’s always sorta been like that, but is it getting worse? It’s been two weeks of the same two things on every TCP.

Hi all! I'd like to request recommendations for conversational podcasts.

My current go-tos are Redhanded and Rotten Mango. Recently I've read about plagiarism claims of these creators and would like to switch to other podcasts with the similar tone that usually cover a case per episode.

I don't mind topic diversions, jokes and personal stories thrown in. What I cannot stand are exclusively male hosts, monotonous voices, and dramatic music in the background.

My other two favourites are Clues and Murder Most Irish (the second one is a bit hard to follow for me tho).

Sometimes I listen to other types (e.g. mutiepisode in-depth investigations), but those require more concentration, and conversational types are great to keep me at my desk when I have monotonous tasks:)

Thank you very much!

I've heard all the big ones BUT on the off chance I haven't, list every single one you can think of.

Ideally solved but I'll take unsolved too.

I have recently heard about this podcast and listened to the episodes 26.

I was already hesitant to even listen to this episode because it involves CP.

Suddenly in the middle of the episode there is a diaper AD sponsorhip? Is it not the most distateful AD? I am just shocked. Is this how she is or was this like a one time disgustibg AD choice?

Dude spent the entire video deadnaming and misgendering a trans man because he dIdN't LeGaLly ChAnGe ThEiR pRoNoUnS as.... a minor in the United States. And was all surprised pikachu when his comments sections descented into a morass of transphobic abuse, and did nothing about it. Dude's a bigot, don't watch his shit.

I just started this series and curious the Warhead one is it just as raw as this one? Im tempted to listen to it but because it talks about children and pedophiles I don’t know if I will be able to handle it.

I am assuming they go into some details but how much details? Is it surface level if that then I can probably handle it.

There’s 2 new episodes that dropped yesterday and today lfg
