Old Timey Crimey

Amber and Kristy set a hard rule for their podcast: all cases must predate 1950. That constraint pushes Old Timey Crimey into territory most true crime shows ignore, and it means Victorian-era murders — including the Whitechapel killings — fit squarely within their coverage area. With 229 episodes, the catalog is enormous, spanning cases from the 1700s through the early twentieth century across the United States, Britain, and beyond. The hosts bring genuine enthusiasm to their research, regularly unearthing cases that have been largely forgotten by mainstream media. Their multi-part miniseries format works well for complex cases like their "Murders on Lovers' Lane" investigation, which traced a series of attacks across Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, and Nebraska during the 1920s and 1930s. The chemistry between Amber and Kristy keeps the episodes lively, mixing humor into the storytelling without disrespecting the victims. The show sits at a 4.3-star rating from 61 Apple Podcasts reviews — the humor style is not for everyone, and some listeners prefer a more serious tone for historical crime content. But for anyone interested in the Jack the Ripper era who also wants to explore the broader world of pre-modern true crime, Old Timey Crimey offers hundreds of hours of material covering a period that most podcasts barely touch.
