James Munro has always told the same story: one murder, one moment of terrible luck, and no real involvement. It's the story that helped him cut a deal — the story that's kept him talking about parole ever since.

I could listen to Tony and Al banter all day long. As a father and son duo, they are so entertaining and their love and respect for each other makes it even better. The content for the show is interesting and original and the way the stories are told is so creative. My only complaint is that these episodes aren’t frequent enough cause I literally can’t wait for more! Highly recommend Murder Phone.
I just started listening. I’m on Season 1 ep 2. My only complaint now is the background music. It’s distracting and makes the show cheesy. I can’t hear the host reading letters because of the obnoxious background music. It’s just not needed. I give 2 stars now at season 1 episode 2. I also think at this early stage is listening that a lot of the correspondence with the prisoners is what the reader wants to hear. Therefore, the criminal is exaggerating.
Tony! Tony! Tony!! And his Co - host Al, AKA - The Cocksman…. This podcast will completely blow you away!! If you love true crime, this is a MUST listen to Podcast!!! Tony Ciaglia and his father Al Ciaglia have put together the most amazing podcast that comes from many many years of hard work and dedication on their parts of which Tony has written and communicated with by phone to some of the most scariest serial killers in the world!! In this podcast they share letters and phone conversations a... more

A provocative true crime program that blends personal storytelling with first-hand material from serial killers, family banter, and survivor accounts. Episodes center on notorious cases, particularly focused on how killers operated, the psychology behind their actions, and the failures of institutions in protecting the public. A notable hook is the host family dynamic—combining personal experiences with chilling letters and calls from inmates—to create a raw, intimate look at some of the most disturbing crimes, while still interweaving pop culture and media critique. The show stands out for its long-form access to inmate letters and audio, its unapologetic style, and a willingness to tackle systemic failures in justice, often with dark humo... more
