True Crime Obsessed

True Crime Obsessed takes true crime documentaries and turns them into something you would actually want to watch with your funniest friends. Hosts Gillian Pensavalle and Patrick Hinds recap docs with what they call humor, sass, and heart -- and Vulture once noted the show was so funny it nearly caused a listener to crash their car. That is the vibe. The format is simple but effective: Gillian and Patrick watch a true crime documentary, then sit down to recap it scene by scene, reacting to the evidence, the suspects, the investigators, and the production choices. Their chemistry is sharp and natural, built on a friendship that started long before the podcast launched in 2017. Nearly 600 episodes later, the catalog is enormous, covering everything from Netflix originals to obscure festival docs. The show has a 4.2-star rating from an impressive 34,700 reviews, which reflects a passionate but somewhat divided audience. Loyal fans adore the personality-driven format and consider Gillian and Patrick essential viewing companions for any crime documentary. Some listeners have noted that the show has drifted toward more personal commentary and less crime content in recent years. True Crime Obsessed spawned the Obsessed Network, and the hosts have expanded to YouTube with full video episodes. They also run an active Patreon with over 400 bonus ad-free episodes and virtual events for subscribers. It fills a specific gap: if you already watch true crime documentaries and want two genuinely entertaining people to process them with afterward, this is that show.
