Looking for a true crime podcast that isn't trash

True crime that does its reporting, doesn't do the murder-fan thing.
  1. Serial Season 1 narrative
    The original. Adnan Syed.
  2. In the Dark investigative
    Curtis Flowers. Won a Peabody for a reason.
  3. S-Town — Brian Reed narrative
    Alabama. Less about crime than character.
  4. Bear Brook — NHPR investigative
    Cold case, DNA.
  5. Suspect investigative
    Wondery. Specific cases done well.
  6. Last Day of August narrative
    Susannah Lipscomb. Single person.
  7. The Apology Line — Wondery weird
    Not strictly crime. Ethically thorny.
  8. Crime Show — Gimlet narrative
    Smaller crimes. Stronger storytelling.
  9. Slow Burn Season 4 — David Duchovny narrative
    The David Duke season.
  10. Slow Burn Season 1 narrative
    Watergate. Required.
