Catherine Carr cut straight to the case with one simple question, a true crime podcast solved a murder, and breakfast radio had never been warmer
1. Where Are You Going?
Loftus Media
Catherine Carr asks punters all over the world: where are you going? The resulting chats – intimate, funny, anonymous – plus atmospheric sound, made this a 2023 must-hear. Originally on the BBC World Service, it’s now produced by Loftus Media.
2. Bone Valley
Lava for Good
True crime podcasts often disappoint, fading after the third or fourth episode. Not so this year’s standout, Bone Valley, which not only solves a 1980s murder, but persuades the murderer to confess – and to another killing too. (If you enjoyed this, The Bakersfield Three, though very different, also got its answers.)
