What’s the best way to rob a bank? How do you fake your own death? Can you deploy a swarm of bees to get rid of the cops? And if so, how (theoretically) would one do that? All of these questions and more are answered on CRIMELESS, a weekly talk show that breaks down crazy crimes and answers the questions that you’re too embarrassed, or too afraid, to ask, lest it land you on an FBI watchlist.

  • Best Podcast Ever

    I am a teen, and I’ve been trying to find any entertaining podcasts, but out of all the other podcasts, this one hooks me up every week. In fact, this podcast is the only reason I hop on the app. I seriously haven’t found any better podcasts. If Josh, Rory, or Lane ever see this review, just know you have always made my day every time I listen to you guys. You guys make my day.

  • Hilarious, Surprising and Thought Provoking

    I found this via one of Josh Dean’s other podcasts called “Chameleon” and I listened to eleven episodes of “CrimeLess” in one day. In addition to all of the above, the stories are very entertaining and what makes the show not just good but great is the camaraderie between Josh, Rory and Layne.

  • Disappointing

    I like the hosts in other shows but it’s really hard to follow this show with the constant laughing, like the stories are so hilarious they can hardly tell them. (They are not).

    I’ve tried to listen to 6 shows and it is just awful. I don’t believe anyone honestly rated this show with 5 stars.
