RedHanded

Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala bring a distinctly British perspective to the JonBenet case in their Episode 126, and that outsider viewpoint turns out to be surprisingly useful. Coming at the story without the years of American media saturation, they do a solid job of separating established facts from the mythology that has built up around the case over three decades. RedHanded covers all manner of true crime, from serial killers to hauntings to disturbing mysteries, and the hosts have built a reputation for thorough research paired with genuine chemistry. Their JonBenet episode parses fact from fiction, examining the evidence without defaulting to the theories that American audiences have heard a thousand times. Episodes typically run 60 to 90 minutes for the main series, with shorter ShortHand episodes covering side topics. The show has 546 episodes, a 4.5-star rating from over 12,000 reviews, and a global audience that appreciates having hosts who look at cases from an international perspective. Hannah and Suruthi are funny together without being flippant about the victims, and they push back on each other's assumptions in a way that keeps the analysis honest. Their JonBenet coverage benefits from that dynamic. Instead of presenting a tidy narrative, they lay out the contradictions and let the messiness of the case speak for itself.
