True Crime Garage

Nic and the Captain tackled JonBenet Ramsey across a massive six-part series in December 2019, and the depth of coverage rivals anything a dedicated JonBenet podcast has produced. That is not an exaggeration. Six full episodes means they had room to go through the timeline, the suspects, the forensic evidence, and the investigation failures in serious detail. True Crime Garage's format is distinctive: two guys in a garage, each episode paired with a specific beer, talking through cases with a mix of research-heavy narration and casual back-and-forth debate. Nic handles most of the factual presentation while the Captain jumps in with reactions and occasional theories. It sounds informal, but the research behind each episode is substantial. Their JonBenet series covers ground that shorter one-episode treatments simply cannot, including the grand jury proceedings, the DNA evidence controversies, and the various suspects beyond the Ramsey family. The show carries a 4.7-star rating from over 33,000 reviews and has produced more than 1,000 episodes since launching. The beer-and-garage vibe makes even the heaviest cases feel approachable. Some listeners find the Captain's interjections distracting, but most appreciate the dynamic.
