THE TOP FIVE...narrative non-fiction podcasts
Ghost Story
Quite possibly the best podcast of all time? Big words, I know, but it’s just so good. Journalist Tristan Redman investigates a chilling family mystery that blurs the line between true crime and the supernatural. It’s a gripping exploration of memory, myth, and what happens when old secrets refuse to stay buried - just the ticket for anyone who (like me) loves eerie, atmospheric storytelling with emotional depth. Plus: the bonus episode is hosted by yours truly.
The Coldest Case in Laramie
Reporter Kim Barker revisits an unsolved 1985 murder in her Wyoming hometown, uncovering buried truths and exposing flaws in small-town policing. A masterclass in narrative tension and personal reflection, it’s also a fascinating mediation on the nature of memory itself.
