Is The Black Dhalia only two episodes? Looking for it now and I only see two episodes on both Spotify and apple. Both from 2017.

It's been a few years since I listened to it, but it's at least 16 or 18 episodes. I think that I found it on iheartradio. It's definitely worth seeking out, especially if you're interested in 1940s Los Angeles.

ETA that I ran into the same problem when I went to listen to it again on Spotify.

It looks like youtube might have all of them.

I found it on the wondery website. All but the first two have to have a membership. Luckily, I checked Amazon music and all are on there as an exclusive. I’ll get started on it soon.

This is the best true crime podcast I've ever listened to.

Crime Junkies is a weekly podcast about different cases that I enjoy.

I'm glad that you found it. Wondery has some great series. The ones on William Desmond Taylor, Charles Manson, and the Billionaire Boys Club are really good too.

Then they have series' on the making of films like Psycho, Jaws, and Star Wars too.

Came in to say this. It’s murder/comedy, but they do a pretty good job. Only 2.5-3 hours a week, but they work through some crazy cases that most people have never heard of.


Don't forget the "Express" episodes they started doing on Fridays, and their Crime In Sports podcast (a good pallet cleanser after some of the more gruesome STM stories, heh). Throw in the Patreon content too ($5/month well spent IMO), and as a result I often get backlogged with content, lol...

I listened to the first 12 or so episodes of Up and Vanished because it was mentioned several times in this thread.

I really don't get the hype. It was okay. But I don't see how this podcast had anything to do with catching the killer(s) and we still don't know which one of them killed her, where it took place, or what their motive was.

Didn't realize that this was from the same guy that did Atlanta Monster. But I thought that was another podcast series that fell somewhere between mediocre and pretty good.

It’s been awhile since I’ve checked up on this case but I’m almost positive they arrested a couple guys and said it was a robbery gone wrong.

Another vote for Serial season 1.

Counterclock season 3 was good too, although the end was a bit weaker than the beginning for me.

This week’s sword & scale episode is about zack Bowen and Addie hall. Figured there may be some interest since it was in NO
