This week’s story is about a man who kept doubling down on his lies and bad decisions until the lives of those closest to him were torn to pieces. Join us for a twisty tale of deception and betrayal.

  • Killer Cadets: The Murder of Adrianne Jones

    Killer Cadets: The Murder of Adrianne Jones
    Apr 18 2025
    The U.S. military teaches recruits to function together as a well-oiled machine—and for young people who dream of joining the most elite forces, it requires discipline, commitment, and loyalty, not to mention the courage to put yourself in harm’s way for the greater good. For the ones with the deepest commitment, there has to be a fire in the belly that drives them to keep their eye on the prize, no matter what the risks. Most of the time this sets the stage for great achievements. But sometimes, the personality type that lends itself to flawless dedication can teeter over the line into feverish obsession. Where’s the line? When you’ve cultivated a “failure is not an option” attitude your entire life, how do you put the brakes on when that determination starts to bleed into your personal relationships? Join us for the story of one of the most infamous killer couples of the 1990s: Diane Zamora and David Graham.

  • Introducing: Suave

    Introducing: Suave
    Apr 17 2025
    The Pulitzer Prize-winning podcast returns for its second season!

    Seven years after his release from prison, former juvenile lifer Luis "Suave" Gonzalez seems to
    be thriving. His career has taken off, he’s in a committed relationship and he’s received public
    recognition after telling his story on the podcast. Suave always thought once he was out of
    prison and found stability in his new life, he would finally feel truly free. But freedom, it turns out,
    is more complicated than it seems. "Suave" is a deeply intimate portrait of a man battling the
    lingering trauma of incarceration and his search for happiness in the outside world after a near-
    lifetime in prison.

    In this season we explore the long shadow of prison.

a true crime, MUST listen!!

I love these women. They have a natural flow, that's easy to follow and listen to. The incidents/stories are thorough. Also I love their sense of snarky comments! Sorry Morbid, True Crime Campfire is my new #1.

Entertaining commentary

Katie & Whitney crack me up. This is not the first True crime production I've ever experienced but I enjoy the interactions and commentary. Obviously most of these crimes are tragic stories but these ladies present it in an enjoyable way.

Binge Material, Cannot Get Enough!

I find their humor funny and enjoy listening to their unique views on each case as they read along. I have been bingeing the seasons for a week now. I'm unsure when new ones come out? I'll be listening!
