TRUE CRIME
New episodes coming January 2025. Do you ever listen to a true crime podcast and think, “that’s not quite right…?” Same. Crime stories are hard to ignore and even harder to forget. But the thing is... they’re stories. And getting a story right is all about how you tell it. Truer Crime talks about real people— murdered, missing, misled — with more nuance, more context, and more questions. Hosted by Celisia Stanton.

TRUE CRIME
While digging through an old memory box, host Thrasher Banks discovers forgotten VHS tapes, police reports, and faded letters regarding a 1995 murder in Dayton, Ohio. Drawn to the connection between this murder and the other seemingly innocuous contents of the box, Thrasher begins an investigation. As he follows the threads, he finds that the 1995 murder may be connected to more than one brutal, unsolved case… Against the backdrop of Ohio in the 1980s and 90s, around the height of satanic panic, this true crime story explores memory, perception, and a personal quest for the truth. Join Thrasher as he unpacks this box and searches for answers about the “Lords of Death."

TRUE CRIME
Discover real-life horror stories, from bizarre crimes to paranormal activity. These true stories are set inside the fictional world of Radio Rental, an 80’s video rental store run by an eccentric shopkeeper, Terry Carnation (Rainn Wilson). This imaginative, cult classic-inspired horror brand blurs the lines of reality, with cutting-edge documentary storytelling and a splash of comedy. From the mind of Payne Lindsey, this is Radio Rental.

SOCIETY & CULTURE
Imagine you were a fly on the wall at a dinner between the mafia, the CIA, and the KGB. That’s where this unprecedented story begins. A journey through the dark world of Russian intelligence where, for the first time, a professed “sex spy” tells her story. All of it. Host Neil Strauss (Rolling Stone, The New York Times) brings listeners into the dangerous world of sexpionage, where enemies of the State are not the only victims. So too are the spies themselves, brainwashed to believe that their bodies belong to Russia and meticulously trained to become “the perfect weapons.” Who is Aliia Roza? From the creators of the hit podcast series To Live and Die in LA, this is To Die For.

Heard an ad on Mr Ballen’s Medical Mysteries. This podcast is awesome. I’ve only listened to season one, hopefully season 2 and 3 are just as good!

I love the format. I hate the slow drip without a fact or evidence that can push the story forward however, that being said, I do feel we are working to something climatic. Hope we are. Thanks Payne. You push the Genre standard higher. Love the tension. Love the setting working to add to tension. Keep it up.
Don’t waste your time on Season 2

Loved season 1 but season 2 is not worth your time. Starts out great but ends in rambling phone calls with a person of interest that does nothing to add to the story.
Redundant redundancies a plenty.

If this show was 4 episodes instead of 8 it would be so much better, but the production / direction choices to draw the story out ruins the impact of the few reveals discovered along the way. The constant CONSTANT restating of information is infuriating - even at 1.5 speed it feels like episodes drag with the same info you already know being stated again and again. Just trim the fat - assume your audience are true crime fans and who can follow a thread and tighten things up. The team do a good job of making it about them doing the show rather than about the subject, getting in their own way. Which is a shame because it’s clear they have passion to crack stories and stepping back and letting the subject take centre stage would benefit the flow.
