4.1 out of 5 stars from 137 ratings
  • Professionally produced and an entertaining listen. BUT, if you insist on doing the podcast in English, make sure that your narrators use PROPER ENGLISH GRAMMAR. The Swedish season in particular was awful, since the narration sounds like it was written by a high school student with only an average grade in "English A".

  • True Nordic Noir

    I’m obsessed with Scandinavian true crime but it has to be told by people from there for the perfect accent. There are only a few podcasts in this category so I’m grateful for one as polished, well-researched, and victim-centred as Nordic Crimes.
