Crime and Comedy
Two American comedians who examine the horrendous things that sometimes happen when people in small towns snap and commit murder. A hilariously funny show, which is respectful to the victims and their families, while laughing at murderers, incompetent law enforcement, and small town behaviour.
True crime and comedy can go together, and laughter and black humour are a good coping mechanism when dealing with horrific circumstances, and these two walk the tightrope between irreverence and insensitivity very well.

If all you're looking for is sports, look elsewhere. The hosts of Crime in Sports are comedians, who take a look at the life of a sportsperson and the noodnickery they perpetrated. They do cover the sports career, but only briefly and as a reference.
If you like true crime, hearing how famous people mess up, riches to rags stories, and amazing things you never knew, definitely listen to this podcast and laugh along. You do not need to like sports.

This true crime documentary left me feeling very sad. It's the story of a father's quest to get his wrong convicted son out of prison. The case was crazy, and the prosecutor(s) were so corrupt (surprise, surprise). Obviously, this quest leads to said release from prison.
The most heartbreaking thing was that after the son went through all this, he had no idea as to how to function in the outside world, since he was just 20 when convicted. I ended up just feeling completely awful for him, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the dude ends up offing himself, or purposely gets in trouble to go back to the structured environment in prison.
It's a pretty short, interesting watch, if you're a true crime buff.

This was a pretty cool read. It was full of facts and figures about different true crimes that have happened throughout history. Being someone who finds true crime interesting, I knew quite a few of these entries, but there were some I did not know.

The only thing I did not like about this was the tiny font. It made it hard to read, if I'm being honest.

But all in all, it's quite an interesting read. I got it on sale at Barnes and Noble where it was half off an already reduced price!

Colour Me Amused
Serial killers, psychos, and two friends from Utah who talk about true crime while using dark humour and foul language. They also tell true stories sent in by listeners and advocate for victims of domestic abuse in all forms.
The full episodes these days are interspersed with minisodes (Sosodes) that include bloopers, squirrel hunts, random tangents, and additional hilarity.
If you have tender sensibilities, definitely do not listen. Otherwise, get ready to have your feelings f***ed, and stay out of chalklines!
