ARD Crime Time is the official true crime podcast of Germany's public broadcasting network, produced by rbb. With rigorous journalistic standards and respectful treatment of victims, hosts Anne Eichhorn, Felix Gebhardt, and Mattis Kießig set a new benchmark for what quality true crime means.

Ira Glass's weekly storytelling program This American Life launched Serial in October 2014, a true crime podcast that became the most listened-to in the world. What started as a single season investigating a 1999 Baltimore murder case has since expanded into a major force in investigative journalism.
