List of Australian crime podcasts


This is a list of Australian crime podcasts. Podcasting, and in particular true-crime related podcasts which deal primarily with serial murders, kidnappings, disappearances, and unsolved crimes, became popular as a media format in Australia from 2016. While some podcasts are privately produced, many are created by investigative journalists within media outlets such as The Daily Telegraph, The Australian, ABC, or SBS. Most detail individual cases across a short series of episodes while others issue individual, or sometimes serial, episodes on different cases every week.
Most podcasts act to provide background detail on already well known cases while also updating cases for recent developments, investigations, or trials. Others, particularly with cold cases, make appeals to the public for information. Some have also been criticised as potentially complicating, or compromising, ongoing police investigations. Some shows have become well known internationally and others have gone on to provoke significant breakthroughs.
