True Crime inspired

Amazing cast

Glorious suspense

Truly Wonderful writing

Fantastic Fiction

As a fan of true crime podcasts, I have very few fiction podcasts in my favourites (mostly things like King Falls AM, for the wackiness) and I tend to avoid crime fiction, primarily because the real thing is better, crazier, and so much more twisted.
The Angel of Vine is a sublime fictional podcast, written to sound like true crime in the Noir tradition being retold in the modern podcast format. The podcast begins with the discovery of some old cassette tapes by the family of a deceased ex-cop turned private detective, and their choice to involve a podcaster/reporter to help them investigate the story enshrined in those cassettes.
Following the investigation into the murder of a young actress in Hollywood, the podcaster makes use of the recordings to tell Harry's story.
Voiced by some amazing talent (including the gorgeous growl of Joe Manganiello, the incomparable Alan Tudzyk, and the delightful Mischa Collins) the story is gripping, compelling, and extremely difficult to not binge.
For fans of true crime, crime drama, and any sort of Noir (Sam Spade eat your heart out), this is a podcast to listen to, save, and listen to again later.

Amazing Riviera backdrop

Starts with a bang but ends oddly

A good drama with a great cast set against the Riviera backdrop of the super rich. It was very good with some twists and plenty of action. It's only 10 episodes long but it seemed to take a different direction in the last 2 episodes. If you like a lavish crime drama or the Riviera scenery this is for you.
