Who doesn’t love a good true-crime podcast?

I have always been a true-crime junkie. I grew up with it, stealing my moms true-crime paperbacks from her nightstand and loving a good scary movie. The bloodier the better…

So, a few years ago I went out for a run and as I was about to pull up the music app on my phone I changed my mind and decided to explore the Apple Podcast app instead.

I had never listened to a podcast before, but I was pretty bored with listening to music on my runs so I thought what the hell.

I was pleasantly surprised to find an entire collection of true-crime podcasts. The first one I ever listened to was Sleuth, and I was instantly hooked.

I also loved how listening to a good podcast could make anything better.

Long drive? Housework? Exercise? Kids won’t stop fighting? Pop in an earbud and turn up the podcast.

I’ve listened to a lot of true crime podcasts, so I figured I would round up a list of my favorites for you guys.

These won’t all be for everyone, but I promise there’s something on this list for everyone!
