Without doubt the best crime podcast, hands down

Laura Richards is a wonderful storyteller, but she doesn’t indulge in gory true crime campfire stories. Laura Richards is a career professional who has led the field in changing the law in many countries, starting with the UK where she was pivotal in making coercive control a crime, and right now is working tirelessly to create a stalkers register. This was/is ground-breaking and life-changing for millions of people.
I don’t know Laura personally, but I did attend her online masterclasses on coercive control. If you don’t know what these words mean, start listening to Crime Analyst NOW. The series on Gabby Petito is 23 episodes of minute-by-minute breakdown.

Every episode is an eye-opener, and she has changed the way I view the world, for the better (although it’s an uncomfortable realisation sometimes).

If you are sick of supporting gory podcasts that subtly glorify killers and want to gain real understanding of these cases in a way that is sensitive to victims and possibly helping prevent future ones, this is the place.

Laura’s voice is also incredibly soothing to listen to.
