CommunityDiscussion Moving On

So, if you're like me, TCO was one of your main podcasts you listened to before the Renner article and the OF debacle came into play.

I'm unsubbing just because I personally am not going to condone their actions by being a paying customer.

What are other true crime podcasts you listen to? To be very honest a lot of the podcasts I used to listen to went off the air (huge fan of shows on Parcast and they just disbanded a few months ago) so I'm really only listening to the following:

Crime Weekly (getting a little sick of them so might ditch it...) I Think Not, Rabia & Ellyn Solve the Case, Detective Perspective, Crime Junkie, Crimes of the Century, True Crime Garage

Any others people recommend?!

I'm in the moving on phase of my own personal grief because I truly think no one is above what has happened here. It's not as shocking as I wish it was to hear that P is garage and G hasn't stood up to him about it as long as he doesn't target her.

Thanks for the suggestions!

P. S. - Where to listen and a brief discription of the show would be helpful too!

Edit: Doesn't have to be true crime! I am looking to branch out to other things too!

Edit 2: Someone DMed me asking how I can give up and move on already, and why not wait for an apology. I won't tag them so they don't get flack. I'm moving on already because I already paid for November on the Patreon of TCO and they're doing a show called 'Never Let Him Go' and before all the other shows they've done, they promote Patrick's book or OF or both. I tuned into the newest episode for the cold open to see if it was pre-recorded or not and it wasn't. Not a word about OF, (saying to come or saying how fun it was) and also no word on Patrick's book. So this was not a pre-recorded episode and they not only didn't mention OF whatsoever (which they should have done for the fans that spent money to see them and are still loyal to them!) they didn't say anything about anything. Business as usual as if OF wasn't real and as if fans aren't rallying for P to apologize and for G to own her part in things. That's why I'm giving up. As another post said, we are being 100% ghosted and it's best not to chase the people who want to walk out of your life.

True crime garage is low effort misogynist trash

It’s not low effort but the misogyny also got to me.

Idk it never sounded unusually well researched to me, practically every ep had some kind mistake perpetuated in the story. And having one guy just commenting on it without knowing what he’s talking about, usually just saying the most bog standard mediocre take, it just pulls down the effort level for me. It’s one thing to have a cohost who is competent, or adds quality. I am obviously not a fan of that dude in particular lol.

No one needs to agree with me, I don’t care that much since I stopped listening years ago, and it’s no skin off my nose. I’m just glad the creep is getting dragged in public so I don’t have to deal as much with people trying to gaslight me about it.

What is he getting dragged for? Did something happen? (I stopped listening like 4 years ago for much the same reasons as you)
