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!
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.
