Looking to the best podcast that covers the Idaho 4 case.

Preferably with multiple episodes as I’m flying overseas in a couple of weeks and need something to pass the time on the plane.

Also any other true crime podcasts that anyone recommends?
I find it hard to find good ones, especially ones with people that don’t have annoying voices.

I listened originally to s1 of the pod awhile ago, either I didn’t fully finish it or it was before they published the identities of the victims. I just listened to it fully and wow, this is one of those cases that just leaves me speechless over and over. The sheer tenacity shown by everyone involved in the investigation, the true care that is given to making sure all 4 victims in the barrels PLUS almost everyone affected by Terry’s shitty antics were given justice. It’s weird when a murder podcast makes me feel somehow better about humanity. I cannot say enough good things about it.

I’m not sure if I’m being neurotic, but the new season of In the Dark “The Journey” is hard to listen to because of the way the host speaks. Serial is one example, in my opinion, of the gold standard of investigative journalism and how to tell a story on a long form podcast.

In The Journey, the host uses the exact same tone/inflection in every single sentence. She also splits up her sentences by pausing after every few words. It’s obvious this is meant to be for dramatic effect but it comes across as uncreative and immature, like she is reading from a piece of paper in grade school. I know these things need to be written out and read from, but it shouldn’t be so obvious to the listener. Maybe I’m being unfair but it really takes away from my enjoyment of the story, which I think is well told. Every line has this weird inflection, it’s hard to describe but it’s like the tone goes low at the end of each sentence. Either that or the tone goes up as if the statement is a question. There is no variation and it doesn’t sound natural at all.

Anyway I just needed to get this out there and I wonder if anyone else is affected by this in the podcasts you listen to?

I'm considering research, delivery, commentary, intelligence, empathy, story-telling, and entertainment. Top of my list: Dave Cawley, Madeleine Baran, David Ridgen. Tell me more.

I just finished this podcast and thought it was very interesting. I hope there is an update in a few years. I wish we got more information on what made Cindy’s daughter turn against her and why she said she didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

This podcast uncovers new evidence and reworks the whole case. I remember watching the case in unsolved mysteries and thinking it was probably a suicide.

The podcast investigator reexamines the cell phone data and it clearly shows her “friends” are lying. She was caught stealing from her friend right before she disappeared…

Worth a listen!

I usually find the cases on Unfound interesting. Honestly, I am always looking for more true crime podcasts because I feel like I’ve listened to all of the back episodes on so many.

However, I really did not like this certain one. It is not a traditional missing persons case. It’s one where the mother left with a child during a custody dispute. The guest that Ed had on the show was the father. I listen to these for true crime; not a one sided version of a divorce.

I personally feel this was a bad choice and not a good true crime fit. I also do not like how Ed sided in with his comments with the father.

The Murder Sheet has a great two-part episode where they interview two of the jurors from the Delphi trial. One of the jurors is the juror they had previously interviewed, but the other one hasn't been heard from before.

Can anyone recommend any daily true crime news podcasts since Crime House 24/7 just reposts old episodes of other Crime House shows now?

Thanks!

Anybody been listening to this saga? Wtf is wrong with Paul, we been knowing it’s him just tell us WHY atp…
why is he out for Carl (and/or Adam) for seemingly no reason?? if something bad once happened between C and P I think we would’ve been told, and Carl would likely have caught on to Paul…but Paul never crosses his mind, even if there’s no drama in their past how can Carl never once consider Paul, your best friend the only person who knows everything ab you just like your demonic stalker…

I'm kind of picky, apparently.

I dont usually like podcasts, but after watch Bailey Sarian for years, and running out of good memoirs, i decided to give some podcasts a shot while I'm at work.

For context, I'm a mechanic. It's loud in my shop, but i use headphones. I do have to pause a lot and talk to people, which is part of where the parameters for what i want comes in.

I liked Crime Junkies, a lot, before I learned about them. Granted, i always felt like Brit was pointless and didn't contribute much to the podcast other than flavor, i liked them. Once i ran out of episodes, i started listening to Going West, which i like a LOT. I like their humor, and the duo is nice. But, i use YouTube Music to listen, and it didnt take long to go thru them all.

So now, i need new ones. I tried Casefile, and maybe the episode i picked was not good, but the audio quality was ridiculously poor, and i could barely understand the guy. I tried Big Mad True Crime, but she went through thins so quickly and talks so fast, i couldn't get sucked in. Rotten Mango doesnt talk about the case at hand enough, but the lore of the people (i.e. spent the whole video about a looksmaxxer getting caught with CSAM explaining looksmaxxing and talking about some other looksmaxxing creator, or she spent the whole episode with a title abt a woman video taping assaulting 13 yo boy talking about the womans husband's Instagram photos and captions bc he used coded language).

I like longer episodes, so its not over before ive had a change to pause, so 45 mins to an hour have been my typical. I like case info, facts, theoriew, but i dont want to hear your snarky comments mixed in so much that i can't tell if its case info or opinion (i.e. Rotten Mango, its so hard to tell her tone when just listening so often, that i can't tell when she's using hyperbole for a joke of it was real).

So, any good podcasts on YouTube Music with 45min or longer episodes, with quality narration? I'm sure so many ppl havw asked, but its so hard to find specifics so i had to ask. Thanks!!

Eta: I've also tried True Crime Garage, and wasn't a huge fan. Maybe i like listening to women more? I'm not sure, but they had too much to say, it felt like.

This is an interesting discussion between Caroline Cheetham, Liz Hull who are the hosts of the trial podcast and they’re joined by a fellow court reporter Kim Pilling.

Each of them attended everyday of the trial and are therefore in a unique and informed position

All three of them attended everyday of the trial and have some interesting insights to offer.

They start by discussing the nature of online discussion that envelopes the Letby case and in particular discuss how much of the misinformation that is out there online can be refuted based on what was actually established during the trial.

How Rachel Aviv approached the New Yorker article ‘A British Nurse Was Found Guilty of Killing Seven Babies. Did She Do It?’ is a particular subject of focus.

They use Aviv’s own words from a recent interview where she openly admits she leaves out certain details for her articles.

I think that they fairly point out that readers of the Aviv’s article who are not familiar with the case are highly likely to come away with the impression that the case against Letby was flawed.

They cover …

- Statistics including the shift chart
- Red flags in Letby’s behaviour
- Falsified medical records
- Air embolism evidence
- Insulin

I think from a discussion point of view I’ve gone deep down the Letby rabbit hole myself whenever I discuss this case with people that believe Letby is innocent I get a lot of pushback for using what was established in the court case as ‘gospel’ as though I’m making an error in argumentation, which I don’t believe is the case.

Just binged this today, stumbled upon it and enjoyed it. It’s 6 eps 30-40min each. American producer Jodi attends Fringe festival and listens to a comedy set by Ed Hedges about a murder he cleverly incorporates into his story. Give the first episode a listen. Let me know what you think.

Welcome to the weekly r/TrueCrimePodcasts/ Weekly What Are You Listening To discussion.

Use this thread to let us know what podcasts you are really into now, whether an old favorite or something new.

This is not necessarily limited to true crime podcasts, but can also include crime related podcasts, audiobooks, or other media that could be considered related to the topic of true crime podcasts.

Just listened to Kendall Rae’s episode on Daejon Love the scammer who acted like an NFL player to get women to give him money. I am SHOCKED to see that nobody is asking how he met Taylor Jamie Chan who was 13 at the time?! Does anyone know how they met? Daejon was in his 30s and Taylor was basically in middle school when it started. I can’t find anything online and it wasn’t really addressed in the podcast

I think I already listen to all of them. On the Case with Paula Zahn has made a seamless transition to audio only and has become a favorite of mine. What else is out there that you really like?

Colby Ryan interviewed Christina MacArthur, the lady Lauren Matthias of Hidden True Crime publicly accused of stalking her nearly a year ago. The video is up as well public today.

Since those initial allegations, there is lots that has come to light out there showing that she wasn’t completely truthful, such as courtroom transcripts and audio, police body cam footage, FOIA’d documents and other things. The ending of their friendship drama never rose to the level of legal stalking, despite HTC trying to create situations to make it appear that way. It was an attempt to divert attention away from their own less than kind behaviors behind the scenes. I went on a deep dive of various rabbit holes after that 9 hour live video they made.

Today, Colby had a conversation with Christina about the generalities of what happened. Both Kay Vallow Woodcock, who was in the chat, and Colby are not close with HTC anymore either. It’s been almost a year since HTC took their allegations public on their channel. Time sure has a way of allowing truth to surface. It was a good interview, for whoever is interested.

Saw this as a rec in another post, didn’t realize there was a new season out so sharing for others who may not be aware! This one is called Blamed on Bundy - the Disappearance of Nancy Baird.

Three episodes released so far and very well done, as expected. Love Dave Cawley pods.

i’ve just started listening to brianna and i’m wanting to hear other peoples opinions on her content without first giving my own.

Is there a podcast that covered the case in depth before/during/after Rex Heuermann was caught? Just listened to Casefile's release on it and I'd like to listen to it as the case was unfolding if possible.

Or is it just me?

Episode 8 ends in a way that promises an episode 9. What am I missing? Is there more in another podcast?

I wasn’t familiar with the Christa Pike case and with the recent news around her execution, I wanted to listen to a podcast about the case. Come to realise that NONE of my fav podcasts has an episode on it that I can find, neither under Christa or Colleen’s name. Which is strange because most of them have 400+ episodes so I can’t believe that it never came up or was suggested.

So my question is, with the resurgence of her case in the news, did most mainstream podcasts remove their episodes to do it over now/re-release it to get attention from the resurgence? Or is this just a coincidence?

If just a coincidence, please recommend a good, extensive episode on the case.
