8. The Dating Game Killer
Why it’s great: This podcast follows the case of Rodney Alcala, a serial killer who appeared on The Dating Game in the 1970s. It mixes the world of true crime with an odd cultural moment.
9. Sword and Scale
Why it’s great: Sword and Scale covers disturbing and violent crime stories with a gritty approach. It’s intense, often exploring the psychology behind the crimes.
10. Up and Vanished
Why it’s great: This podcast investigates real-life disappearances, offering both investigative reporting and in-depth analysis. Season 1, focused on the case of Tara Grinstead, is especially gripping.

I highly recommend The Lady Vanishes podcast, which is Australian and talks about the intriguing case of missing Australian woman, Marion Barter.

I really like Diary of a CEO. Steve Bartlet has fabulous guests from a variety of backgrounds. I always learn something from listening to them.

I am a true crime fan and usually listen to : Casefile, Redhanded and Crime Junkie. However I have just gone through every episode of ‘Just The Gist’ and i’m sad they are no longer recording, i loved it. ‘Who the Hell is Hamish’ is a good one too (9 eps on australias worst con-artist).

I am yet to listen to one. I’ve heard lots about them, just never bothered to listen to one

I’m following. Also interested in some podcast recommendations.

I intend to fill up on podcasts over the school/summer holidays.

No my question; but some great answers and will take a look too. Great community sharing!

I listen to a lot of true crime on Youtube. I do other things while they are playing in the background as they are ones that aren’t really visual.
My favourites are;
That Chapter
dreading (crime and psychology)
Dr Todd Grande
this is MONSTERS
Beside the Dying Fire
Stephanie Harlowe
BlueDot Crime
Red Tree Crime
JCS – Criminal Psychology

True crime Australia and my all time fav is casefiles. They have tones of episodes and free to listen. 10000% recommend

I mainly watch them in YouTube but they are also available in podcast form; this is monsters and somewhere sinister. Both are true crime from the same creator.
Our all time favourite podcast is Futility Closet. It’s no longer making new episodes but has over 100 to listen to. It’s about the wonderful and wacky curiosities of history, literature, language, mathematics. And a lateral thinking puzzle at the end of each episode. It’s a great listen.

Sorry, I can’t advice you. I haven’t listened to a podcast in years

Forgotten Australia. It covers so many topics and is very interesting.
