You're a fan of true crime, otherwise you probably wouldn't be here, so it's safe to assume you've already stumbled upon Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark's infamous podcast My Favorite Murder. If for some reason, you haven't, let me introduce you to one of the all-time best episodes from the podcast.

In each episode comediennes Karen and Georgia tell each other a true crime story they find interesting. In this episode Karen covers the Honolulu Stranger and Georgia covers the incredibly unbelievable story of the Galapagos Affair (which features the greatest last words of all time).

"6 - The Tank Chase" - The Dollop

The Dollop / Via dolloppodcast.com

Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds (or Gary, if you're a fan of the podcast) is a bi-weekly American history podcast. Often that means stories of little known bizarre nuggets of history from hundreds of years ago to now.

It also means that every once in a while, there happens to be a few true crime stories. For this one, we're going all the way back to the beginning of "The Dollop" to learn about a man who, unbelievable, stole a tank in San Diego, California.

"Episode 165: Ed Kemper Part 1 - A Bit of a Bumblebutt" - The Last Podcast on the Left

The Last Podcast on the Left / Via lastpodcastontheleft.com

The Last Podcast on the Left is a heavy hitter amongst true crime/comedy podcast lovers. With heavily researched hourlong episodes—sometimes with several parts—covering true crime from all around the world, hosts Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, and Henry Zebrowski research the worst of the worst.

This podcast is not for everyone. They spare no detail, especially in their "Heavy Hitters" series. But, if you're looking to learn about the famous serial killers you know by name but not by story, The Last Podcast on the Left should be the first podcast you listen to.

In this episode, the boys cover the beginning of the story of Ed Kemper, who you might be now with Mindhunter season two's recent premiere. But, be warned, while Mindhunter is all acting, you will hear Ed Kemper's real tapes that inspired the Netflix series.

The case of Robert Wone is flat out unbelievable, to the point that while listening to this particular episode, I had to continuously rewind because I just couldn't believe it.

"Live at the Wilbur" - My Favorite Murder

My Favorite Murder / Via myfavoritemurder.com

Yes, this podcast is on here twice. It's just that good. If you're a regular podcast episode, you might skip over live episodes. I get it, the sound is often not great, you get serious FOMO, and you don't want to hear other people laughing at the jokes that are for YOU, goddamit.

Well, if you are, get ready to stop being a skipper on My Favorite Murder's live episodes, especially episode 59 "Live at the Wilbur". This is a laugh out loud until your belly hurt and cheeks are sore kinda episode. You don't want to miss it.
