As a child, I loved reading mystery novels. Whenever someone saw me, I would have a mystery book in my hands. Once I started college, I have not been able to read as much as I would like, I was becoming deprived of my mystery content. But then, podcasts became my best friend. I thought I would take some time and share some amazing podcasts that I have come across!
Someone Knows Something (CBC Podcasts)
This is literally the best podcast that I have heard thus far in my podcast journey! This podcast is an investigative podcast, in which Dave, the journalist, looks into cold cases of disappearances and murders. Each season is about a different case. Dave goes above and beyond with his investigations. He keeps up with the police, follows all leads that come in from the public, and makes sure to follow any doubts that the family may have had regarding the case. His detailed descriptions of locations and people mentioned in the podcast make the cases more real and closer for the audience. I genuinely cannot emphasize how amazing this podcast is!
Finding Cleo (CBC Podcasts)
This podcast follows the case of a young Native girl who was a part of the Sixties Scoop in Canada. Cleo was last heard to be hitchhiking her way back home when she was 11, but since then nobody has heard anything regarding her whereabouts. This podcast is hosted by Connie Walker, a dedicated journalist who is eager to find out what has happened to Cleo. This podcast had the most satisfying ending possible! Another gem of a podcast!!
Serial ( This American Life)
This podcast is probably one of the most famous podcasts out there. This was my first podcast ever, and one that will always be one of my favorites. This podcast was hosted by Sarah Koeing. In the first season she covered the unsolved case of Hae Min Lee. Hae was a high school senior when she was murdered. The police at the time had come to the conclusion that the murderer was Hae's former boyfriend, Adnan Syed. However, Sarah showcases numerous pieces of evidence which indicate that Adnan may actually be innocent. Sarah's voice is also super nice to listen to, which is always a plus when it comes to podcasts.
The Teacher's Pet ( The Australian)
This is a podcast that I have recently started and has definitely caught my attention. This podcast focuses on the disappearance of Lynette Dawson. The case itself is one that is filled with scandal and tons of red flags! A student-teacher relationship, suspiciously close twin brothers and a loving mother who has disappeared; this is definitely a case that will keep you on your toes!
