HOW TO PASS THE TIME – PART 1 – PODCASTS TO LISTEN TO

So, like I said, True Crime is what I love the most! I love the who done it type and I love to dive into all of the possibilites of the ones that are unsolved. With that being said, The Crime Junkie Podcast is probably my favorite podcast just because there are different cases each episode. if there are any break throughs in an unsolved case, they will update you (that’s why you will need to subscribe) and I happen to find Ashley Flowers voice very soothing (a podcaster’s voice is very important to me) A podcast could be really good as far as what the story is about, but if I don’t like the podcasters voice or tone, I gone! 

Down The Hill and Scene of The Crime are both podcasts about the Delphi Murders that is still unsolved and ongoing.

Serial – Season 1 – Is about the case of Adnan Syed from 1999. He is still claiming innocence and is still trying to overturn his conviction. This podcast was basically the start of all podcasts. I wish she (Sarah Koenig) had more podcasts because her voice and the way she tells a story is unlike any other podcaster!

The Dating Game Killer -In 1978, Rodney Alcala won a date on the popular TV show, The Dating Game.
