Good true crime podcasts? (hexbear.net)

Yeah yeah treats, slop, fascism and so on. I like true crime, if you've got an issue then come to evergreen terrace 742 and we can talk about it.

Anyway I used to love Last Podcast on The Left, but they've lost the sauce. I enjoyed them for the fact they seemed to do a lot of research, but aloof treatment of the subject matter (making "gold star episodes" for especially gory stuff 🤮) and also, somehow, wanting to do the "scary and serious" type voice... It's shit.

I'd love some recommendations for True Crime podcasts that:

Treat the victims with respect.
Don't give the perpetrators mythological gravitas
Do deep research
Are entertaining
Aren't trying to make me believe the world is out to get me so Ill buy their home alarm system.

By entertainment I don't mean funny. I just mean it provides you with whatever it is you expect to get out of listening to a good podcast.

I was cleaning up my place and found my old Last Podcast shirt lying around. Not wearing that out of the house anymore. Anyway, I fell out of them around the Pirates episode.

As for stuff I'd recommend, True Crime Garage was good at being respectful (not sure if they're still running), but their research was kinda meh compared to lpotl. The Missing Enigma spins a good yarn, but can get lurid and doesn't shy away from talking about bigfoot on some episodes.
