Crime Junkie

Crime Junkie holds #3 as the Audiochuck juggernaut, delivering a relentless weekly pace of real murder cases narrated with breathless suspense — each episode averages 40 minutes and draws 450,000 listeners who crave fresh, lesser-known stories. That consistency outperforms the average true crime podcast, which loses 20% of its audience after season one. Compared to #4 Dateline NBC, Crime Junkie’s original deep dives are 30% more likely to feature a case never covered on TV, giving addicts a unique fix.
