Cozy Crime is a long-form historical true crime podcast designed for quiet evenings and gentle curiosity. If you are drawn to quiet mysteries, forgotten cases, and the atmosphere of another century, you are very welcome here. Each episode journeys into the past, and is ideal for listeners who enjoy immersive storytelling for relaxation, background listening, or sleep. The tone is calm, reflective, and slightly literary - more like a beautifully written history read aloud by candlelight than a modern true-crime broadcast.

    035 | The Rugeley Poisoner: One Conviction, Fourteen Suspected Dead | Staffordshire, 1856

    Tonight's Cozy Crime story explores the life and crimes of Dr. William Palmer of Rugeley, Staffordshire, a trusted physician, compulsive gambler, and the man Victorian England came to know as the Rugeley Poisoner. Formally convicted of a single murder, Palmer was suspected of killing as many as thirteen or fourteen people over the course of a decade, among them his wife, his brother, and several creditors. He was hanged at the age of thirty-one, and the country was so afraid he might escape justice that Parliament changed the law specifically because of him.
