I am back & forth with my Podcast listening, often ditching the podcast for my playlist but all I need is true crime Podcast or two to get me back into the listening mode.
Ever since Serial & S-Town, I have become an avid true crime Podcast hunter & am always on the hunt for new binge worthy ones to listen to. Once I get started, it’s hard to stop. On the bright side though, I hate driving & Podcasts make it SO MUCH more enjoyable. More often than not you can find me in a parking lot, in my parked car, binging on a true crime podcast because it’s just so hard for me to turn off.
SO- today I am sharing with you guys the top 5 true crime podcasts I am either currently listening to, or planning to listen to very soon!
If you have any podcasts I need to listen to, please comment below!! x, E
The absolute best true crime podcasts:
1. Dirty John
Dirty John is the story of a man, John, who definitely isn’t what he seems… & I can’t tell much more than that cause I don’t want to give anything away. I will say though- I can’t stop listening to Dirty John & am DYING to know how this ends.

2. Up & Vanished
This podcast revisits the case of a Georgia beauty queen & teacher who literally up & vanished. Up & Vanished opens up this 11 year old cold case, & one of the largest in Georgia’s history, to try to determine what actually happened to Tara Grinstead.

3. Missing Richard Simmons
I haven’t started this one yet, cause I’m kind of a one podcast at a time girl, but I know it’s gonna be good. Don’t lie- you’ve wondered too, what the hell happened to Richard Simmons?! One of Simmons’ friends tracks his search for Richard via this podcast, & listeners are raving about it (they say it has a creepy Serial vibe to the whole thing!).

4. Accused
Accused is a real cult favorite among true crime podcast lovers everywhere.
Season one investigates the murder of Elizabeth Andes in 1978 & investigates the fact that some people think the wrong man was charged with her death. Accused exceeded over 7 million downloads with there first season, & season 2 is on track to be just as much of a hit.
5. Someone Knows Something
Another one I am so excited to start- Someone Knows Something, season 1, is all about the disappearance of Sheryl Sheppard. Two days after she was proposed to by her boyfriend, she vanished. David Ridgen joins forces with the victims mother to search for more answers on what really happened to Sheryl.
