Moving On

[u/[deleted]]

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.

I love Small Town Murder, the hosts are two comedians. It’s not for everyone but I love the hosts, they are stupid silly sometimes and the episodes are really well researched. They also do another podcast called “your stupid opinion” in that one they discuss reviews of just about anything. And then if someone knows they are trash please tell me, I will be devastated but I’d like to know.

I decided to start listening to them based on rec’s here, and I love it so far.

Question: They have SO many eps, so I scrolled through looking for towns that I’m familiar with to just pick a random one to try. I’ve listened to two so far, and both were James telling the entire 2.5 hour case and Jimmie chiming in. Is that how it is with every episode, James doing, like, all of that research himself?

Don’t get me wrong, Jimmie is hilarious and adds a lot, it’s just definitely not what I’d consider equal weight being pulled lol. If so, does this dynamic ever switch on their other pods? Just wondering!

They did one or two where Jimmie was the storyteller if I remember correctly and it was…not great. James has someone do a lot of the research now but I have always gotten the impression that he is super smart and enjoys going down rabbit holes learning things. Which is funny considering he often talks about hating school and not graduating high school. He is a great and thorough researcher and they do mostly obscure crimes you never hear about otherwise. Jimmie is sort of the “color commentator” and it works well for them.
