True Crime Brewery

Jill and Dick bring something unusual to true crime podcasting: actual medical expertise. Jill has a background in healthcare, and that clinical perspective shows when they break down forensic evidence and autopsy findings. Their JonBenet Ramsey episode, which dropped on Christmas Eve 2018, spends considerable time on the physical evidence and cause of death in a way that most podcasters either cannot or choose not to. The show follows a husband-and-wife conversational format, with episodes running anywhere from 50 minutes to over 90 minutes. True to the name, each episode includes a beer pairing, which gives the whole thing a relaxed, kitchen-table feel despite the serious subject matter. Their JonBenet coverage focuses heavily on the investigative failures, particularly how the Boulder Police Department handled the crime scene and the lack of cooperation they perceived from the Ramsey family. With 430 episodes and a 4.4-star rating from over 1,100 reviews, True Crime Brewery has found its audience among listeners who want detailed case analysis delivered at a conversational pace. Some reviews mention that the hosts can sound low-energy at times, and the show does run more ads than some competitors. But when they lock into the forensic details of a case like JonBenet, the medical knowledge genuinely adds value. The biweekly release schedule means they have been putting out content consistently since 2016.
