The True Crime Podcasts Hosted By Women You’ll Be Hooked On

True crime is a grizzly, yet highly fascinating topic. There is something about wanting to understand the mind and motives of a serial killer that can be highly exhilarating. On your daily commute, or at the gym, as you put your head phones on, are you listening to Beyonce or about a murder case? No one will ever know and its your very own dark secret…and for good reason – because crime podcasts are addictive.

We’ve picked out a few that you might want to get stuck into if you’re looking for a break from happy clappy “how to be a better person” podcasts. All led by women, with great banter to boot, you might find that you want to take some time off work just to listen to all of them…
