Today I listened to...

I only really listen to crime podcasts. My favourites are casefile and the trail went cold they just tell a good story. I prefer ones where there's just one presenter.

I also listen to:
Felon true crime
Already gone
Thin air
In the dark
Someone knows something
The vanished
Breakdown
Criminal
The unresolved
Thinking sideways

Then I haven't yet got around to s-town, missing Maura Murray, and Alberta Williams.

Listening to True Crime Garage and their coverage of the Casey Anthony case.

Also recently found The Last Ovation and Inside Psycho

Inside Psycho is pretty disturbing. The sound design is very unnerving.

Gimlet are the absolute leaders in podcasting these days.

Between Homecoming, Reply All and Crimetown I am kept utterly happy. Seriously high standard production levels and GREAT subject matter.
Crimetown is SO SO good.

I listened to Radiolab for the first time today, an ep on a woman who found herself with a status of not officially existing because her parents were libertarians who didn't get a birth cert, didn't send her to school, etc. Interesting topic. I got a real vibe of "too many cooks" about the production though and the fast editing of everyone interrupting each other or talking over a contributor to give more context was an annoying style quirk to me.

the black tapes- the acting is a bit hammy but the story is pretty good if you can get over that .

Today I listened to a first few episodes of King Falls AM. Small town late night radio style. Kind of twin peaks tone, tongue in cheek humour.

Been looking for something like it for awhile now and I have to say I like it.

Am currently listening to Real Crime Profile. They talk about murder cases such as OJ, Meredith Kertcher and Reeva Steenkamp. It's very victim focused and I just love the dynamic between the three hosts, FBI criminal profiler Jim Clemente, Laura Richards, former Scotland Yard, and Lisa Zambeti who is a casting agent for Criminal minds. They delve into each case and on the last episode they give their theories of what they think happened on those nights.

I started listening to 74 Seconds, which is an MPR production, and so far I'm finding it very interesting. It's about the shooting dead of a black driver by a cop who had pulled him over for a traffic offense last year, and the current coverage of the cop's trial. The aftermath of the shooting was streamed live on Facebook by his girlfriend, who was a passenger in the car. The whole thing from flashing cop car lights to death took 74 seconds.

The episodes are short - 15 to 25 mins - and so far haven't been very legalese-heavy or requiring a lot of concentration. I had previously listened to a bit of Undisclosed, a spin-off from Serial, but I found the legal technical stuff and the way they tell the story too complicated.

74 Seconds is a bit upsetting in parts. And I'm not easily upset by these kinds of stories. But it's intriguing.

Taking a break from Casefile so started listening to Hardcore History again, downloaded Prophets Of Doom, Dan Carling is superb. The amount of research he does is insane and how he is able to recall so much information and fact is very impressive.

Do you not have to pay for them now?

There's some free ones on Podcast Republic

Am going to start listening to casefile today. Would you recommend listening in any particular order? Are they chronologically organised or can you listen here and there?
