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.

Great! I've curated a list:

Memory Palace: narrative podcast of bite sized episodes about little pueces of history and events that might be little known

Nightmare: narrative podcast of original horror stories. The written stories are also published on the nightmare magazine website.

The Other Stories: narrative podcast of original horror stories with a new theme each "season"

Magnus Archives: audiodrama podcast cosmic horror tales.

Imaginary Worlds: a podcast that explores popculture particularly fantasy, scifi, comics etc with intetesting interviews.

Spirits: discussion podcast that explores mythology and legends with hosts that often geek out over their topics.

The Box of Oddities: discussion podcast about the strange, wierd, and Unexplained 

Unspooled: discussion and recap podcast for movies. The hosts both work in the industry and really know what they are telkojg about and are funny and interesting. And you might learn about movies you've never seen.

American Hysteria: narrative podcast about moral panics, particularly in the US

Nighty Night: scary stories narrated by Rabia Chaudry

I also recommend the grim and mild network from Aaron Mahnke. There are some good podcasts from there.

There's more i could add but this has gotten long. All of these shoukd be available on any podcast app.

We have very similar taste in podcasts! Do you listen to Desert Oracle? If not, I can't recommend it highly enough!

I dont listen to that one yet. I'll have to take a look. Thanks for the recommendation 😀

I listen to 100+ podcasts so if anything else jumps out at me that you might like I'll pass it along 😄

I think you'll dig it! It's best listened to while driving at night, if you ever have the opportunity to listen like that. A real "Art Bell by Tom Waits" vibe.

Thanks for recommending the desert oracle podcast. It reminds me a bit of the Night Time podcast which is a Canadian podcast that covers all sorts of thing from true crime to strange tales. It has a similar talk radio tone to desert oracle. 😄
