  • Bad Shepherd: The Murder of Carol Neulander

    Bad Shepherd: The Murder of Carol Neulander
    Apr 11 2025
    How far would you go to get what you want? For most of us, there’s a hard limit on the answer to that question, and that limit is hurting someone. Especially someone close to you. But in this week’s story, we meet a man who didn’t believe in limits like that, who would let nothing and no one stand in the way of his ambition and desires. It’s a mindset you might expect from a Wall Street bigshot, but our guy wasn’t that—he was a suburban rabbi, who kept all his demons hidden under a cloak of godliness.

    Tulip 22: A Story of Betrayal and Murder
    Apr 4 2025
    Vengeance is such a core human urge that there are hundreds and thousands of parables and plays and stories warning us about what a dangerous path it is. In the classic Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet destroyed himself and the entire Danish royal family in the name of revenge. Francis Bacon wrote “A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.” Today’s story is a good reminder that if you seek revenge, you should dig two graves.

  • Poisonous: A Grab Bag of Vintage Bad Bitches

    Poisonous: A Grab Bag of Vintage Bad Bitches
    Mar 28 2025
    For at least the past 200 years or so, there’s been a lot of debate about women and the role we’re supposed to play in society. Historically, we’ve been expected to be the nurturers, the caregivers—the gentler sex, as we used to be called. We cook the food, we nurse the sick, we mind the children. Some of us are perfectly content in that role. But all throughout history, there have also been women who’ve chafed against these expectations. Some of them rebelled in a healthy, heroic way—fighting for women’s right to vote, to manage our own money, to pursue careers. And some have rebelled in a darker, more toxic way, using the very tools of stereotypical womanhood—food and drink—to commit the deadliest crimes. Today we’ll tell you about two of those women. Case 1: Tillie Klimek. Case 2: The Marquise de Brinvilliers.

I highly recommend anyone into true crime check out this show. I thoroughly enjoy listening while I work my art, and the narrators are hilarious! I love that the jokes are at the expense of the criminals.

a true crime, MUST listen!!

I love these women. They have a natural flow, that's easy to follow and listen to. The incidents/stories are thorough. Also I love their sense of snarky comments! Sorry Morbid, True Crime Campfire is my new #1.

Entertaining commentary

Katie & Whitney crack me up. This is not the first True crime production I've ever experienced but I enjoy the interactions and commentary. Obviously most of these crimes are tragic stories but these ladies present it in an enjoyable way.

Binge Material, Cannot Get Enough!

I find their humor funny and enjoy listening to their unique views on each case as they read along. I have been bingeing the seasons for a week now. I'm unsure when new ones come out? I'll be listening!
