Dead Famous is everything you want from a true-crime podcast—smart, gripping, and deeply respectful. Mark Randell brings the same forensic insight and calm authority that listeners love from Seeing Red, but with a fascinating twist: exploring cases where fame, power, and public image collide with dark, often shocking crimes.
The research is meticulous, the storytelling is compelling, and the pacing keeps you hooked without ever feeling sensationalist. Mark’s narration is thoughtful and measured, allowing the facts—and the victims—to remain at the centre of each episode. He has a rare ability to balance empathy with analytical clarity, making even well-known cases feel fresh and unsettling in new ways.
If you enjoy intelligent true crime that treats its subject matter seriously and digs beneath the headlines, Dead Famous is an absolute must-listen.
