About This Episode
Mike Ferguson and Mike Gibson—known to listeners simply as Mike and Gibby—launched True Crime All The Time in 2016 as an unlikely success story. What began as a hobby project produced in a basement has evolved into one of the world's most celebrated true crime podcasts, captivating audiences who crave rigorous storytelling and unflinching investigation into criminal psychology.
The podcast's core appeal lies in its comprehensive approach to true crime narratives. Each episode tackles fascinating stories spanning serial killers, obscure cases that have fallen through public memory, and what fans call the "Big Timers"—the most notorious criminals in history. Rather than glossing over details, Ferguson and Gibson spare nothing, diving deep into the motivations and psychology that drive killers. This investigative thoroughness has become the show's trademark, earning it a devoted following among true crime enthusiasts who demand substance alongside sensationalism.
The duo's consistency has been crucial to their success. New episodes—presented as chapters in an ongoing narrative—launch every week, maintaining momentum and keeping listeners returning for fresh content. This regular cadence, combined with the hosts' accessible chemistry and engaging presentation style, has transformed what started in a basement into a cultural phenomenon.
Recognizing their audience's hunger for more content, Ferguson and Gibson expanded their brand with True Crime All The Time Unsolved, a spin-off series focused specifically on cases that remain unsolved. This strategic extension allowed them to explore mysteries without resolution, offering a different investigative angle that complements their flagship show.
Distribution has played a vital role in the podcast's global reach. True Crime All The Time is available across all major platforms—ART19, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Audible, and Spotify—ensuring accessibility for international audiences regardless of their preferred listening ecosystem. This multi-platform presence has been essential for a podcast aiming at a worldwide audience.
The show's official website, truecrimeallthetime.com, serves as a central hub for listeners seeking additional resources and information. The online presence reinforces the podcast's professional standing while maintaining connection with its community.
What sets True Crime All The Time apart in a crowded true crime podcast market is the hosts' unwavering commitment to rigorous investigation combined with their ability to make complex criminal psychology comprehensible to general audiences. They don't sensationalize for effect; instead, they allow the stories themselves to compel attention through meticulous detail and thoughtful analysis.
From its modest basement origins to international recognition, True Crime All The Time demonstrates how quality content, consistency, and genuine passion can build something remarkable. Ferguson and Gibson proved that true crime audiences reward hosts who respect their intelligence and investment, delivering substance alongside entertainment.
Today, the podcast remains a go-to resource for those seeking to understand criminal behavior and explore cases beyond mainstream media coverage. Its journey from hobby to global success offers insight into how creators can build loyal audiences by maintaining editorial integrity and adapting to audience demand without compromising their core mission.
