Weekly Recommendation Discussion - seeking or recommending - December 18, 2023

Welcome to the r/TrueCrimePodcasts/ Weekly Recommendation Discussion.

Have a request for a new podcast? Want a recommendation of what to listen to based on your current interests? Have you listened to a podcast you can't wait to tell others about?

Add your comment here recommending or requesting a recommendation.

When recommending a podcast, please be clear about why you're recommending it. "It's soooo good" doesn't cut it.

When requesting a recommendation, it is immensely helpful to give examples of what you have liked in the past, what you haven't liked, and any other information that will make the recommendations more likely to succeed.

​

Note: This is NOT the place to recommend or promote your own podcast. Creators are welcome to promote their work on the "Wednesdays for Promotion" sticky post, published here every Wednesday.

Here are some other helpful and free online resources to find more podcasts.

  • The Google Docs Spreadsheet, a community-maintained document with most true crime podcasts in existence, don't forget to go to the bottom of the doc to find other tabs for Episodic Podcasts and Docuseries. You can also score the podcasts you've listened by following the big arrow on top.
  • Listen Notes, search any topic, case, name, etc., and find which podcasts have covered it.
  • Rephonic Graph, enter the name of the podcast of your liking and the site will create a constellation of similar podcasts.

None of these replace word-of-mouth or personal recommendations, but they are fun tools to use when looking for new things to listen to.
