Dark Dark World is a true crime podcast hosted by Jordan Crittenden(with occasional co-hosting from Ed C and JessiKa-Boom).
We mostly focus on lesser-known cases, but we also like to take a look at some of the bigger true crime stories that may have slipped through the cracks of current mainstream consciousness.
We also do a series of episodes where we discuss popular true crime documentaries, and those episodes are labeled Doc Doc World.
DISCLAIMER: You will sometimes hear political views discussed on this podcast. We don't love cops, we feel that the criminal justice system in the United States is mostly a joke, and if these sorts of left-leaning political views upset you, then this probably isn't the true crime podcast for you.

Customer Reviews
Awesome podcast
Stumbled upon this podcast randomly and was a little unsure of the style and tone initially, but having binged my way through many many episodes, absolutely love it. A big thumbs up 👍🏾 from 🇬🇧
Love you guys!
I’ve only just discovered this podcast. Normally I don’t like American ones because they often seem a bit over the top (no offence intended) this one is brilliant. It’s like two normal (albeit vegan 🤭) guys that have a story to tell. The dark dark rooms are just as good, you hear them talk all kinds of interesting crap!
Very good
Good stories, well delivered. Enjoying listening. 👍👍
