Canadian CrimeCast: Coast to Coast True Crime
I tell you the details and the story for interesting crimes from across Canada, with insights that only a retired RCMP officer can provide. Finally, a Canadian true crime podcast that is interesting on more than one level.
My podcasts are the best version of true crime, where you get the juicy details of the story, but also an understanding of what was happening in the minds of police investigators as they're working the case, and how certain pieces of evidence can solve the case. I also do my best to paint a picture of the day or life of the unsuspecting victim.
Just don't listen to a story of what happened, try and feel what it felt like for those involved.
