Crime is so commonplace that it takes something particularly shocking to be labelled the “crime of the century.” Even so, there are a lot of cases that have earned the distinction. In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. So... more

I had been a loyal listener for quite awhile but after the live episode, I’m done. I know it’s a news flash to a lot of people, but I tune into true crime podcasts to hear the stories, I go to concerts to hear an artist share their songs. What I don’t need is for those people to throw in gratuitous bias of their own personal political views. Put in a dig at either political party when it has absolutely no relevance to the story and I’m immediately turned off. I feel like Amber has been teet... more
Between the monotone voice and clearly reading straight from a script, I couldn’t even make it through 1 episode. So bad.
Amber, you are so detailed, well-written and offer a fabulous delivery. I can handle the ads but cannot understand why you ruin your accuracy by not checking the pronunciation of the locations in your stories. Not PARamus NJ but PaRAMus. So many others. It's annoying and disrespectful.
TDS strikes again. Tell me you’re a liberal freak without telling me you’re a liberal freak. Just tell the story without bias. Is that so hard for you nut jobs?
Well researched and presented. The host is easy to listen to and she weaves a good tale. The history and the true crime blend is about the best combination I can think of.
