The True Crime Podcasts Hosted By Women You’ll Be Hooked On

True crime is a grizzly, yet highly fascinating topic. There is something about wanting to understand the mind and motives of a serial killer that can be highly exhilarating. On your daily commute, or at the gym, as you put your head phones on, are you listening to Beyonce or about a murder case? No one will ever know and its your very own dark secret…and for good reason – because crime podcasts are addictive.
