My Favorite Murder pioneered the 'comedy true crime' genre — two hosts discussing real crimes with humour and irreverence. The best similar shows combine genuine true crime research with comedic hosts who don't take themselves too seriously. The top-ranked shows above are the most popular picks among MFM fans.
Comedy true crime podcasts handle the tension between humour and respect for victims differently — the best shows are careful to punch at criminals and systems, not victims. Listeners of the genre are generally very engaged in true crime and use humour as a coping mechanism for dark subject matter.
My Favorite Murder has released hundreds of episodes since launching in 2016, making it one of the longest-running comedy true crime podcasts. If you've caught up on the back catalogue, the shows above will keep you going for a very long time.
