Anxious to validate her recently-deceased mother’s wild conspiracy theories, a young podcaster recruits a poorly-reviewed private eye to help uncover the truth behind a ludicrous urban legend. But after witnessing a murder while searching the Santa Cruz Mountains, they find themselves at the forefront of a sensationalized investigation where every townsperson, news outlet, and internet rando has their own opinion about what really happened.

The Hunt? Is a true crime/comedy podcast about a small-town murder investigation as it deals with—and becomes part of—the absurd hot-take culture of America’s murder obsession.

Laugh-Out-Loud Funny, Excellent Through & Through

I’ve always loved true crime podcasts like “My Favorite Murder,” “Serial,” “Small Town Murder,” and “And That’s Why We Drink,” so I was excited to see that someone was trying to do a scripted take on true crime. I’m so impressed — this podcast is a witty, smartly-written, impeccably edited, and superbly composed reinterpretation of a genre that’s become overly saturated. Can’t wait for the next episode!!
