True Crime Sucks

True Crime Sucks

You know what sucks about true crime documentaries? Almost everything! As fun to watch as they may be, the subject matter is a huge bummer more often than not. That sure does make producing a comedy podcast out of breaking down, reviewing, and analyzing the latest and most talked-about true crime documentaries, docuseries, and crime specials a tough task. But on True Crime Sucks, hosts Adam Tod Brown and Kari Martin (previously hosts of the Pretty Scary podcast) do their very best to make it happen.
