Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for you. Welcome to Rotten Mango but don’t worry it all comes with a seasoning of comedy/sweetness. read less

Our Editor's Take

Rotten Mango is here to please true crime fans' gruesome curiosities. Hosts Stephanie Soo & Ramble host this podcast. It's so rotten the only thing fresh is the cold, dead bodies. Gruesome and captivating don't go hand in hand. But on this podcast, they match well.

From conspiracies and mind games to spooky setups and dungeons to other weird places, Rotten Mango has it all. Fans love it for the true crime. But it's the animated storytelling that keeps their attention.

The cases discussed on Rotten Mango are macabre entertainment, but they are also warnings. It's sad when people can't trust others. But it's better to err on the side of caution than believe the wiles of a serial killer.

Some of the stories sound so incredible that they can't be real. Right? Listeners best believe it. This podcast may get unnerving sometimes, but they don't do terrible lies.

They talk about Brandon Teena's murder. That's the transgender story that inspired the movie Boys Don't Cry. John Wayne Gacy, an infamous true crime topic, makes it into this show's episodes. The Chowchilla school bus disappearance also gets discussed.

Other Rotten Mango topics include the Hello Kitty murder and the Toy-Boy Killer. The list could go on and on. First-time true crime podcast listeners should adhere to good advice. It will be a bloody mess, so stomachs, beware.

And that's not all. Anyone inclined can go way back into history. No matter how far back they go, a serial killer story will be waiting. One is the story of serial killer Gilles des Rais. He was no typical modern serial killer. He was a confessed serial killer of young children in 15th-century France. Nope, this is not a new trend.

This podcast talks about it all. When it comes to true crime storytelling, Rotten Mango is ripe and fresh.
