Podcast: what is up my murder munchies, todays episode we are visiting a gnarly case about a Jane Doe who was found headless in a recycling bin. Before we start the show, I would like to thank our sponsor simplysafe for making home security system that blow the competition out of the water!
Point me to a leftist true crime podcast or youtube channel and I will watch/listen. I find true crime fascinating but all of these content creators just focus on the gory details and not on the motives and how capitalism and it's society plays into it all at the macro level.

LPotL is frequently good about focusing on how the pigs are incompetent. That's something else that separates them from other true crime.
They also make sure to point out what losers all the notorious killers are. At no point are they glorified or hyped up

The crime is US imperialism
TrueAnon and Ghost Stories for the End of the World are kind of true crime podcasts, with that crime being "state crimes against democracy."
It's called Well There's Your Problem, and it's about the worst kind of murder - social murder.
Unfortunately they've been phoning it in for a long time. But like 50 of them are good, that's a big archive.
They don't always phone it in, but some are a little dull. I'm really hoping they do some episodes on early rail disasters, like pre-1860. Those were some wild times, before stuff like "signals" "brakes" and "labor rights" existed. Early trains were just little pipe bombs on wheels dragging a bunch of wagons with train wheels behind them.

Yeah, an occasional well-researched episode would be good. Or just more guests, so they can leech off of the knowledge of people who know WTF they're talking about. The train scheduling one they did recently was alright (though for my tastes it could've gone deeper into the technical details).
The general riffing ones tend to be better, but they also did one on something I know a bit about (medieval siege warfare) and it was just a clusterfuck of pop culture based misconceptions, so it makes me worry they really don't know what they're talking about during a lot of them.

Yeah, they did. They talked over her a lot, but she also didn't really correct anything.
Wtyp might be the worst podcast I've ever opened. Someone a million years ago here linked their episode on 9/11 and it was pretty cool, so I expected the entire show to be like that. I tried like 10 more episodes and there was exactly one which was tolerable, that being the one about zeppelins. The rest were the most unfocused, unfunny, unpleasant conversations I've ever heard.
Try one of the early ones about lakes.
This was a one off series, but maybe checkout Believe Her.
It’s a podcast documenting the story of Nikki Addimondo, who was put in prison for murder because she killed her abusive husband.
It’s not explicitly leftist, but it’s a pretty big critique of our criminal justice system. It’s definitely not like “oooh let’s get in the mind of a killer.”
Also would recommend I Am A Killer on Netflix, which is a docuseries where they interview prisoners and about their history and the murder and then also talk to family members, detectives, victims’ family, etc.
It ends up very humanizing for the most part. I think it’s a show where people affirm their own beliefs though. The subreddit paints it a lot as “first you get the killers’ story and you feel sympathetic, then you get the truth from the cops and victims’ families.” This happens on some episodes, but I feel like the prisoners usually seem credible and accountable.
How about you don’t find it fascinating, how about you stop fantasizing over the murder of innocent people and start viewing that interest as wrong thoughts?
:bait: pretty weak
Yeah this is a new account that is constantly trying to start struggle sessions. I give it a week before @themagicschoolbus is banned.
Already banned, you missed it.
