The Crime Weekly podcast is an ideal listen for true crime fans. From serial killers to cults, the hosts discuss the cases that have affected them most. Along with each week's episode examining a different case, this podcast focuses on helping listeners stay safe and alert.
Hosting this true crime podcast are two people who have dedicated their lives to true crime. Derrick Levasseur is a former police detective and private investigator. Stephanie Harlow has her own YouTube channel examining some chilling crimes. Each host has cases that have influenced their career and life. Together, they discuss these cases and their untold aspects. They also discuss developing cases that are in the news.
Listeners will hear their thoughts about the mysterious Delphi murders. They will listen as they examine the murder of British real estate agent Suzy Lamplugh. They discuss famous cases like the Watts family murders and Casey Anthony. But the hosts do more than examine cases that listeners will already be familiar with. They also focus on cases that have not received much media coverage. Victims like Faith Hedgepeth and Lilliana Carillo are the focus of some episodes.
The hosts do a great job of not sensationalizing these horrible crimes. They also don't focus on the psychopaths responsible for them. Instead of focusing on killers like Ted Bundy, they focus on the victims and their stories. Although these episodes contain sensitive subject matter, they are respectful and professional. Further elevating the episodes are Levasseur's insights as a retired police detective.
These episodes are often more than two parts long. They can even feel like listening to a documentary rather than a podcast. New episodes are available every Friday and are from two to three hours long. The Crime Weekly podcast is a great listen for anyone who enjoys true crime podcasts.
