What really sets this podcast apart is its humanity. There’s so much empathy woven into every narrative. It doesn’t just tell stories, it honors them.
Be warned though, once you start, it’s very hard to stop. This is the kind of podcast that turns “just one episode” into three hours later, sitting in your car in the driveway because you need to hear how it ends.
Absolutely phenomenal. A true gem.
Another great podcast! Thanks so much.
Just finished listening to Season 1, Susan Powell. Excellent presentation of information on this crime. Please continue with updates on this story. Hoping she will be found someday.
I enjoy all of the podcasts on this app but Cold is my favorite so far. Dave Cawley is a spectacular story teller. True crime is my go to for my drive time and I made it to season 4 thinking I’d listen while waiting for the true crime of season 4. The story of the Ulinta Truangle is now my favorite of all the seasons. I can’t find the words to express my appreciation for DC’s work on this one. Thank you for the spectacular entertainment.
Good stories and narration but each season drags on for way too long.

The series presents thorough, narrative-driven investigations into missing persons and unresolved cases, framed by meticulous archival research and survivor-centered storytelling. Across seasons, it blends investigative journalism with personal narratives to illuminate how cases unfold, the impact on families, and the ongoing pursuit of answers. Listeners are drawn to the methodical, empathetic approach that weighs how authorities respond to survivors and how new evidence can shift long-held assumptions. A notable strength is the sustained, multi-season deep dives that connect historical cases with broader social issues like domestic violence, justice for victims, and the ethics of reporting in true crime.
