Do you ever listen to a true crime podcast and think, “that’s not quite right…?” Same. Crime stories are hard to ignore and even harder to forget. But the thing is... they’re stories. And getting a story right is all about how you tell it. Truer Crime talks about real people— murdered, missing, misled — with more nuance, more context, and more questions. Hosted by Celisia Stanton.

Hosts personal bias ruined the show, why is this a political perspective? Not why I listen to true crime.
Listening to Molly Tibbets case. They list me when they complained the governor called the murderer a predator. She made the villain a politician instead of the murderer for political impact. Terrible
This show surprised me. I thought it would be another investigative journalist trying to solve a crime. This is not that because it’s so much more. It’s storytelling about the people involved in crimes, both victims and perpetrators. It’s philosophical and thoughtful and, for me, LIFE CHANGING. It’s like that book that sticks with you and makes you look at deep, hard truth. The series about Keith LaMar is profound and beautiful and it’s what’s changed my life. THANK YOU for this incredible podca... more
I’ve listened to a ton of true crime podcasts, and now Truer Crime is my favorite. Why? Because as a former journalism prof. and writer, I admire the host’s devotion to fact-checking, transparency, and journalistic standards in general…also, the storytelling’s darn good. A compulsive listen.
Celisia is so easy to listen to and you can tell she immerses herself in each story. I love true from podcasts, but I’m picky. This is honestly one of the best out there. I can’t believe it took me this long to find it! Keep telling important and thought provoking stories!
