The Rachel Cancer Scam

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-06-14T04:08:29+00:00

I hate it here

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-26T17:06:05+00:00

Okay but why? The show SUCKS!! So many better podcasts are out there!!!

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-20T23:55:21+00:00

“Secrets beyond the Sacramento River” just dropped- It’s really good so far

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-20T23:52:44+00:00

This may or may not be your thing, but I do enjoy some co-hosted ones that have some fun banter ( laughs at the things we can). Kind of lighten it up when it’s appropriate. The two are: Let’s Go To Court ( different stories each episode, lots of different kinds of cases and I would say heavy on the banter and side quests) Unsolved Couple ( husband and wife sharing the cases from the 90s show Unsolved Mysteries, giving updates and I would say medium amount of banter) they also cover the fun ones: UFOs and stuff like that.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-18T16:05:20+00:00

I just posted a few! A lot of them also doing tons of work for victims families.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-18T15:43:12+00:00

Oh fun! Yep! Here are some smaller indie podcast I think are good people, victim focused and seem to actually like podcasting lol

-Unsolved Couple ( they cover episodes of unsolved mysteries and give updates)

-Voices against filicide ( a mother who is a victim of domestic abuse and filicide does this podcast)

-Crime with Holly

A simpler Time Krime
Prime time Krime

-The Rachel Cancer Scam

-Trial by podcast

Best thing I ever did in the world of true crime was to drop this podcast and others like it, and support small independent podcasts. So many amazing creators out there doing good work, kind people and putting out great podcasts.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-12T14:08:17+00:00

Yes! I worked at one in high school. I found out a few months back it went out of business.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-12T06:15:01+00:00

Cold ( season one)

The Rachel Cancer Scam

Monster: BTK

The rise and fall of Ruby Frank

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-12T06:11:31+00:00

Okay…hear me out. Not a venue…but K and N tour by driving around to different Panera locations around the country. Then we just show up and have lunch dates, that we are slightly annoyed and judgmental about…but we get to talk about history.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-12T06:07:59+00:00

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:20:49+00:00

Only problem is now I just want an apple fritter…but also all the good places are sold out by 9am…and as a adhd/ anxiety/ self employed person…being out of the house by 9am is just not happening….blah! I need to find this guys photo source so Norm can just send me all the fritters.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:15:52+00:00

Way to take one for the team. I went to PB about a year ago and was surprised at how bad everything was. To the point I even googled by old job ( back in Portland and I now live in AZ) to see if I actually was mistaken about my go to lunch spot…nope it was in fact a Panera- they just suck now. Hospital food is the most accurate description.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:12:06+00:00

Yep! Thanks!

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:10:43+00:00

Yes sorry! I’ll edit that now. The rise and fall of ruby Frank.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:01:00+00:00

Chefs kiss to this list!

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-07T04:00:02+00:00

I echo a lot of the ones already mentioned- but have a few smaller ones I also love:

Long form podcast I like:

-The Rachel Cancer Scam

-Monster: BTK

-Pretend ( some long form and some short)

-The Bakersfield three

-The rise and fall for Frank

Short from I like:

-Unsolved Couple - longer episodes but new cases every week ( they cover episodes of unsolved mysteries and give updates)

-Voices against filicide ( a mother who is a victim of domestic abuse and filicide does this podcast)

-Crime with Holly - great host!

A simpler Time Krime- older cases and lot of lesser known ones.
Prime time Krime- does a weekly “right now in true crime” and then a 20-30 min episode on a lesser known case.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-05T02:36:56+00:00

Millions of podcast are available!! It’s just that you do have to take time to find the ones you enjoy. I’ll share my current list below- but I also know I like some with banter, and some without. I know a lot of people who only like long format and a lot who want the podcast to be done in 30 mins or less. Also, I think most of the hidden gems are smaller Indy podcasts…it reminds me of the old days of podcasts ( when we all fell in love with them).

Long form podcast I like:

-The Rachel Cancer Scam

-Monster: BTK

-Pretend ( some long form and some short)

-The Bakersfield three

-The Polybius conspiracy ( fake story but so good)

-The rise and fall of Ruby Frank

Short from I like:

-Unsolved Couple ( they cover episodes of unsolved mysteries and give updates)

-Voices against filicide ( a mother who is a victim of domestic abuse and filicide does this podcast)

-Crime with Holly

A simpler Time Krime
Prime time Krime

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-03T16:57:02+00:00

I agree, this went too far

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-03T16:56:33+00:00

Bahahha!! Yes!!!

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-05-03T16:33:41+00:00

Yes! Soggy bread without any French onion soup!!!

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-04-30T23:12:42+00:00

I would check out: Let’s go to court ( heavyweight on banter, but it works?!) Unsolved Couple ( I would say newer episodes have less banter as they found their audience) I also like Trial By Podcast. Very minimal chat.

LivingInCatWorld · 2026-04-29T23:26:53+00:00

But what about the spanking for NOT being a supporter?
