Get past the comedy, listen to the facts. The facts stated have never been refuted.

Criminal is less obsessive about one case and covers a number of interesting, quirky, old cases.

Decided to check out the Criminal podcast after the thread, and it seems like a great one based on the first two episodes.

Very much listen to them. Privatization has been one of the worst things to hit the US criminal justice system.

Host Phoebe Judge's presentation style lifts the podcast from so-so to great.

An hour-long show by a criminal justice lawyer commenting on police and legal issues, an information source they can't get elsewhere easily.

Criminal is another good one, though too interesting to fall asleep to.

Action Button, Fredrik Knudsen, Folding Ideas and Oki's Weird Stories do excellent deep dives; Action Button is the one to try first, and it's dense enough to replay.

John Oliver had a great episode on civil asset forfeiture, which makes criminal accusations against property rather than people.
