Morning Cup of Murder: A True Crime Case for Every Date
Korina Biemesderfer hosts a daily podcast tied to the calendar, with roughly 2,000 episodes to date.
Morning Cup of Murder is a true crime podcast built around a simple idea: every episode examines a criminal case that unfolded on the same calendar date the episode is released. The show is hosted by Korina Biemesderfer and consists of short, daily instalments that walk the listener through historical cases involving killings, kidnappings, serial murderers and cults.
According to the series' own description, the show has been downloaded more than 30 million times.
The podcast runs to roughly 2,000 episodes. The most recent instalment, "A Death in Police Custody", was released on 30 September 2026. Other recent episodes carry titles such as "The Cereal Laced with Heroin" and "A Carefully Planned Massacre", both pointing to specific cases from true crime history.
The format is defined by its brevity and its rhythm: a new, compact episode each day, each one anchored to a particular date in the calendar. That structure makes the archive function as a kind of running almanac of crime, where the date itself determines the subject matter.
The show is in English and produced in the United States, and belongs squarely to the true crime genre. With its daily release pattern and its large back catalogue, it is aimed at listeners who want a short daily dose of historical criminal cases. It can be heard via Apple Podcasts.
