For those who enjoy learning more about criminal justice, true crime, and justice in particular – there are many podcasts options for you! Pop these on your next commute and enjoy listening to these fascinating stories.

Criminal

A great podcast options for those who love to hear about various types of crimes and their outcomes, Criminal has something for every true crime enthusiast. Pheobe Judge hosts Criminal, and every episode is a new story of some of the most unique crimes, false accusations, and everything in between.

Have you heard of Cary Nation and her quest for prohibition with her axes? Let Pheobe tell you all about her! Criminal is available on any major podcast platform and new episodes are available twice a month.

Serial

Serial is a wonderful podcast that follows the journey of the journalist, Sarah Koenig, as she seeks to understand a puzzling case in Baltimore, MD. You get a chance to follow along as she seeks to uncover the truth behind Haw Min Lee’s murder and whether convicted boyfriend, Adnan Syed is as innocent as he says. The most amazing part is that near the end of this podcast, Adnan is granted a chance for a new trial. Definitely worth a listen, wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Up and Vanished Season 1 This podcast is another great option for people who enjoy the structure of one story per season. Up and Vanished, hosted by Payne Lindsey, digs up cold, missing person cases and starts the process of reinvestigating and searching for new information. Season 1 does an absolutely phenomenal job of looking into the Tara Grinstead case of Ocilla, GA. Payne and his team spent months in interviews and looking for any possible drop of new evidence in the case over the course of the season. Definitely look into listening to this one on your next commute.

Wrongful Conviction Although this podcast features stories of extreme hurty and injustice, it is fascinating to listen to the process that these inmates went through in order to gain their freedom from incarceration. Wrongful Conviction talks through the triumph of justice, albeit after significant time, in the cases of those who have been wrongfully accused of a crime. Some of these stories feature people who were on death row for a crime that they did not convict. Their stories, told by Jason Flom, are amazing and incredibly interesting to listen to.

I promise that these podcasts are nothing short of exhilarating and you will want to listen to episode after episode in one sitting. Next time you have a long road trip, a long commute, or want some listening material for your next walk – try out these true crime podcasts and become immersed in the world of justice.
