Liz looks at Shondaland’s venture into podcasting with Criminalia, Nick covers the ABC’s first foray into true crime podcasts with Trace. And Zane is still about changing the world in 2021 with Tiny Leaps Big Changes. Then it’s time for the Castologists to share their thoughts on last week’s offerings.

Liz Recommends - Criminalia

With 'Criminalia,' Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi Bring Humor to Historical True Crime Podcasts

The co-hosts talk to Shondaland about the murderesses that inspire their show, and how they keep it light even when dealing with death.

Similar to Frey’s award-winning podcast, Stuff You Missed in History Class, each episode of Criminalia unpacks a person from history — usually a woman — who has committed a murder via poison. Who was she? What circumstances led up to the crime? And did she actually do it? For those who prefer their top shelf storytelling with a sidecar, Frey also offers a thematic cocktail recipe. Because, well, why not?

For Both: season 1 is on female poisoners so have at it.

Nick Recommends - Trace

ABC Australia's first True Crime podcast, Trace has so far covered the death of Maria Jones and the story Informer 3838. Both huge cases in the Australian crime world.

For both: From the start or pick a season!
