Good true crime podcasts? (hexbear.net)

Yeah yeah treats, slop, fascism and so on. I like true crime, if you've got an issue then come to evergreen terrace 742 and we can talk about it.

Anyway I used to love Last Podcast on The Left, but they've lost the sauce. I enjoyed them for the fact they seemed to do a lot of research, but aloof treatment of the subject matter (making "gold star episodes" for especially gory stuff 🤮) and also, somehow, wanting to do the "scary and serious" type voice... It's shit.

I'd love some recommendations for True Crime podcasts that:

  • Treat the victims with respect.
  • Don't give the perpetrators mythological gravitas
  • Do deep research
  • Are entertaining
  • Aren't trying to make me believe the world is out to get me so Ill buy their home alarm system.

By entertainment I don't mean funny. I just mean it provides you with whatever it is you expect to get out of listening to a good podcast.

Ghost stories for the end of the world is pretty good if you like the parapolitics angle
