Top 5 True Crime Podcasts That Stick to the Facts
When it comes to true crime, one of the most important aspects for me is the presentation of the facts without speculation or assumptions. I prefer podcasts that stick to the known evidence and do not conjecture about the motives of the individuals involved. Below are five true crime podcasts that, in my opinion, do just that. Each podcast offers a unique take on the cases they explore, providing interesting insights and detailed information.
Recommendations:
1. Wendigoon
Wendigoon, hosted by a Christian man, delves deeply into strange crimes, such as the Yuba County 5 and the Bomb Collar Bank Heist. He conducts extensive research and theories, making it an engaging listen for those interested in the details of these cases. While Wendigoon does lean towards conspiracy theories, he generally prioritizes facts over fiction.
2. My Favourite Murder
This popular podcast delves into true crime with a comedic twist. Hosted by two women, the show maintains a fair and balanced attitude, even when discussing complex and dark subject matter. It's both informative and entertaining.
3. Small Town Murder
Also hosted by a pair of men, this podcast offers a unique perspective through humor. They take a more critical stance, often making fun of individuals involved except for the victim and their family. This approach makes it a bit more than just a straightforward true crime discussion.
4. Disaster Area
Hosted by one woman, this podcast explores disasters and mass shootings. It provides some practical survival tips and offers a liberal political perspective. As a conservative Christian who supports the NRA, you might want to approach this with caution.
5. And That’s Why We Drink
Another female duo runs this show, which combines true crime with paranormal elements. Episodes can be quite entertaining, but if you’re sensitive, especially late at night, you might want to pick the right episodes. This podcast is best enjoyed with a drink to hand, hence the title.
6. Murder Mile
Murder Mile, hosted by one man, focuses on true crime cases within a specific geographic area of London. His humor, while sometimes disrespectful, is delivered with a well-researched approach. The podcast covers both older and newer cases, offering a comprehensive look at lesser-known true crime stories.
About the Frank Carson Case
Frank Carson, better known as Danny the Angel, was one of the most infamous serial killers in post-World War II England. He was convicted of three murders in 1948 and spent the rest of his life in prison. His case, while tragic, has captivated the public's imagination. Podcasts like Disaster Area have indeed covered such cases, providing listeners with a detailed understanding of the context and background, including the societal and historical aspects of the time.
