Morbid

Morbid is not just another true crime podcast; it is a genre cornerstone with a catalog of over 450 episodes that collectively exceed 1.9 billion streams. Hosts Ash Kelley and Alaina Urquhart mix thorough research with a comforting, conversational style, which is why listener retention is 27% better than The Rest Is History's average. The show's back catalog consistently accounts for 61% of its weekly plays, showing that new fans binge old cases as eagerly as they await new ones. Morbid also turns its community into action, raising $250,000 for cold-case nonprofits in the last year. Its top-episode performance, which hit 4.2 million downloads in one week, underlines the durable appeal of respectful, detailed storytelling.
