The true crime podcasts you need to binge in 2019

Because your obsession needs to be fulfilled. - by Natasha Price
  • 12 Mar 2019

Your true crime podcast obsession is just going to get bigger in 2019. With gripping new podcasts dropping regularly and true crime documentaries, TV shows and movies premiering this year (hello Dirty John and Ted Bundy), the world's interest in these shocking stories and cold cases will only grow.

The true crime podcasts you need to binge in 2019

Whether you listen on your daily commute, save them for whilst your travelling or listen before bed (you're brave), here's our list of the best true crime podcasts you need to be listening to in 2019.

1. Claremont Serial Killings

The Claremont Serial Killings podcast takes listeners into the shocking murders of three young women from the well-to-do Perth suburb of Claremont in 1996 and 1997. The first girl, 18-year-old Sarah Spiers, disappeared after calling a taxi. A few months late Jane Rimmer, 23, disappears, and her body is found weeks later. As police begin searching for a serial killer, 27-year-old Ciara Glennon is taken and killed. 

Australia's longest running murder investigation, this one is timely as the cold case has been reopened 23 years later, with accused murderer Bradley Edwards set to stand trial in July

Broken Harts investigates the tragic murder-suicide of the Hart family. Jennifer and Sarah Hart were a married couple, parents to their six adopted children.
