Maureen and Rebecca Milliken bring grown sibling energy to this engaging podcast. There are many true crime podcasts out there, but these sisters offer a fresh approach: down-to-earth, well sourced narratives. They cover famous and current crime stories but also lesser known cases, often tied to Maine in some way. I adore the way they allow themselves to be authentic, commenting on obscure details, bad reporting, and darkly humorous aspects. Favorite episodes include the 2-parter about Maine’s topless coffee shop (#87 and #88);the one (#45)about Brenda Spencer, the notorious sniper made famous by The Boomtown Rats’ “I Don’t Like Mondays;” and episode #35, about Carol Jenkins, a victim of a racially motivated murder in 1968. Finally, one of the distinguishing aspects of this true crime podcast is that the Millikens start each episode with follow ups on previously covered cases. You’re never left wondering. Overall, such a great find in the sea of true crime pods.
