    Aside from Casefile I really like Last Podcast on the Left. Think the lads are a good laugh and they seem to know their ****.

    Are we allowed discuss true crime in here as opposed to just podcasts? Or cases covered on podcasts maybe?

    Cases covered on podcasts... That would make sense to me or the thread will run out of steam pretty quickly!

    Just my two cents though.

    Spoiler tags would probably be needed though hmmm...

    In The Dark season 2 has just started for anyone that's interested. Season 1 was great. Very well researched and presented.

    I think Small Town Dicks is fairly good. Two presenters talk to two detectives about cases they've worked on. There's an emphasis on the police work and procedure, which is usually fascinating.

    Listening to this aswell - a bit slow in comparison to others and no great sense that they are going to discover what happened but you never know

    Without doubt my favourite true crime podcast is Sword and Scale. It’s excellent.

    This isnt True Crime per se, but close enough. https://www.earhustlesq.com

    Its a podcast made by inmates in San Quentin. It's very good.

    If you like S&S you should check out The Minds of Madness. Similar style and similar quality.

    Listened to the spoof True Crime podcast A Very Fatal Murder. Absolutely hilarious IMO and I regard most - if not all - "comedy" podcasts to be painful failures in actually enticing a laugh out of me.

    Well worth a listen: it captures the tics and tropes of the genre and heaps on the absurdity.

    Done Disappeared is a similar one, same kind of spoof on the genre

    Thanks for recommending this. Very good. The "Greyhound Bus" one...jaysus :eek::eek:. Probably, the most horrific case I have ever heard of.

    She's definitely Irish but it is an odd accent alright. My wife thought that the host wasn't Irish at the start.

    Some info about the host:

    Canadian True Crime podcast is pretty good if you like casefile. Not quite as polished but I find it enjoyable.

    Its surprisingly difficult to find some good podcasts as there are countless lists lf ****e online. So... thanks to you guys here for providing a number!

    Enjoying Sword and Scale at the moment, and there's over a 100 episodes! :o

    Lets see if we can get the True Crime Forum:
    https://touch.boards.ie/thread/2057866728/2/#post107265662

    Could have threads for each show and more.

    Just listened to the episode of Sword and Scale about Luka Magnotta. ****ing hell. There is disgusting audio there of a brutal murder that is just grotesque. It goes on far too long as well, just a guy suffering as he dies. Absolutely horrified after it an feel sick. Disgraceful how they gratuitously covered this, I wont be listening to the show again.

    That was the best S&S podcast that I listened to, absolutely horrific but really well done. Not a huge fan of that podcast these days but that episode is unreal. Magnotta is an absolute psycho.
