If you are a crime and thriller fan or are exploring the world of podcasts, you should check out these crime based podcasts.

Growing up, we always had radios. It is probably the second oldest form of entertainment and information after print. Now, however, radio is mostly considered as a travel-time option and is being taken over by its younger, evolved version - Podcasts. At a time when digital platforms and shows have gained immense popularity, the industry of Podcasts is going strong. Every day, we have new people trying their hand at starting their own Podcast channel and sharing their views, opinions, information and interest with the work. One genre of podcasts catching the attention of a lot of the online generation is the crime and thriller one.

Despite the sea of crime shows and movies, people somehow never get tired of wanting more. Crime shows not only scare people but also intrigue them to know how the story unfolds. While we end up watching documentaries and shows on our favourite OTT platforms, there are also various crime-based podcasts channels to feed our curious minds.

The whole idea is to know how and why a person does what they do. It is more about studying the psychology of the person and trying to solve some of the crimes themselves. Everyone gets that rush when they go along the storyline and try to solve and find evidence before the main characters on the show. We get a sense of victory on knowing that you can be a detective too and solve crimes. The best part of listening to these crime-based podcasts is that when listening people tend to put their complete attention into the story and become a part of it. If you are a crime and thriller fan or are exploring the world of podcasts, you should check out these crime-based podcasts.
