All of the links contain true crime content.
Please use discretion when viewing. The vast majority of the sources here do show trigger warnings before their content or at least puts warnings in descriptions. I also put as many trigger warnings on this page as I could.
I despise when true crime content creators use humor so all of the links that deal with real crime and victims are made by those who take crime and its victims seriously. There's also A LOT of very popular sources not listed here, but this is a list of content that I like, well known or not.

Dateline
Audio of various Dateline episodes. The producers keep the "COMING UP! (play part of the episode that hasn't aired yet, spoiling that plot point)" parts up, which is so annoying! But it's nice having Keith Morrison's voice in a portable form. (That was a weird sentence.)

True Crime Podcasts - Series
Bear Brook
Trigger Warning: crimes against children and women
An excellent podcast about the Bear Brook murders, the narcissist behind the crimes and the search for the victims' names.
The Clown and the Candyman
Trigger Warnings: heavy discussion of childhood sexual abuse, crimes against children, sexual assault.
Goes into detail about the possible connection between two massive pieces of shit, John Wayne Gacy and Dean Corll. (I personally don't think there was a connection, but it's been a while since I've listened.)
Cold (
Reddit)
Trigger Warnings: crimes against children and women, narcissistic abuse
A podcast discussing in detail the disapperance of Susan Marie Cox (or Susan Powell, but I don't want to associate her name with the Powell family - if you know the case, you would know why) and the death of her two sons, Braden and Charles. One of the saddest true crime cases that I know of and this series does a great job in sharing Susan's story.
Hunting Warhead (
Youtube)
Trigger Warnings: heavy discussion on childhood sexual abuse
This was a well-produced podcast that I listened to in one sitting, very gripping and heartbreaking. However, PLEASE take the trigger warning I posted seriously, the act of CSA is discussed in detail in every single episode.
Into the Dark
Trigger Warning: crime against a child (season one), racism (season two)
Season 1 covers the horrific abduction of Jacob Wetterling and how the case was solved while the podcast was being produced. (I cried a lot over the last episode.) Season 2 covers the wrongful convinction of Curtis Flowers, a black man that spent more than 20 years in prison while a very corrupted white prosecutor attempts to have him executed. I've read that this is the most important podcast ever made and I have to agree with that opinion. I'm very happy that this podcast helped so many people.
The Thing About Pam
Trigger Warning: crime against a woman
The great Keith Morrison narrates a very bizarre true crime case that centers around a very bizarre woman named Pam Hupp. A great, quick listen.

True Crime Youtube Channels
Aurace Crime
Cayleigh Elise
(She removed her videos from Youtube but if you search Youtube you will find reuploads of her videos.) My favorite true crime content creator
ever, without a doubt. The production of her videos, the amount of research she did, covering little known cases, her empathy towards the victims and their families... it's all there and Cayleigh truly made the videos to shine some light on the case and give the victim's a voice. I hope Cayleigh is okay and doing well in her life, she is sorely missed!
Criminally Listed
I like this channel a lot, but many people have a problem with the narrator's voice. If it's grating to you, try setting the speed to 1.5x.

Claims to be a "Jim Can't Swim rip-off" but I personally enjoy his videos more. More commentary and custom content and way less unedited interrogation videos that go on forever.
