TRUE CRIME
Hidden deep in online forums, a growing subculture thrives on anger, isolation, and blame: incels, or “involuntary celibates.” Incels see themselves as rejected by women and overshadowed by so-called “Chads”—the confident, attractive men they believe they can never be. Their frustration often mutates into open hostility, harassment, and, in the most extreme cases, acts of violence. Incels takes listeners inside this unsettling world—not to sensationalize it, but to understand it. Through expert analysis, first-hand accounts, and the voices of former incels, we break down how these communities operate, why they’re growing, and the psychological traps that keep men locked in cycles of resentment. With chilling stories and deep insight, Incels reveals the human cost of a culture built on hate—and the path forward for those ready to leave it behind.

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?

TRUE CRIME
Between January 1996 and July 1997, five women went missing in and around the city of Mons in Belgium. Their disappearances weren’t linked until gruesome discoveries were made across the city. Fifteen trash bags containing thirty-seven body parts were found at strategic dump sites seemingly designed to taunt authorities and spark fear in the public. These women fell victim to a sadistic serial killer. His identity remains unknown, but his name still sparks fear… The Butcher of Mons. In this new season of Le Monstre, Host Matt Graves and a team of investigators and journalists reinvestigate this terrifying case, unearthing new evidence, new witnesses, and new suspects. Season 1 of Le Monstre covers The Dutroux Affair. Serial killer Marc Dutroux and his accomplices terrorized the country of Belgium. These unspeakable crimes and the incompetence or unwillingness of law enforcement agencies to stop them brought the entire country of Belgium to the brink of revolution.

I don’t think it’s ok what he did in any way shape or form it is in fact horrific robbing 4 young people of their lives and leaving their family and friends with a life time of trauma, however some of the gleeful sounding reporting of the conditions at the prison as well as the factual evidence is just plain disgusting. What he did was beyond inhumane but finding joy in inhumane conditions and treatment makes us no better.

There are WAY too many episodes for the amount of information the podcasters have. Way too much time is spent on going into insane detail about stuff that isn’t relevant, repeating the same information, or just speculating wildly. Also, this has to be the most ad-ridden podcast I’ve ever listened to. Insulting to ask your listeners to listen to this many ads.

This started out as a good deep dive but now is full of fluff. Like I am glad that Kaylee’s Brother is happy but having a whole episode about his engagement seems like a bit much. There shouldn’t be more episodes unless Bryan agrees to be interviewed otherwise this is just sensationalizing the tragedy.
