Every podcast on WhichPodcast is ranked using Listen Score — a global popularity metric based on listener data, episode frequency, and audience engagement across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. The shows above are drawn from the genres most relevant to this collection and sorted by their global listener ranking, so the top results reflect what millions of real listeners are choosing right now.
Want a more personalised recommendation? Our podcast discovery quiz matches you to the right show based on your mood, your time, and whether you want a household name or a hidden gem.
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.
