A Scottish podcast, now in its 4th season is continuing to attract new listeners through their weekly crime based podcasts.
The podcast “Which Murderer”, launched in 2018, and chaired by Melanie and Holly, and published every Friday where it is available to download and listen to through iTunes as a podcast.
The show which attracts a few thousand downloads each week, focusses on two true crime murders, with each weeks podcast featuring a theme that Melanie and Holly both delve into around the methods and motives behind the murders. Each show is rounded off by a listener game called ‘Which would you rather’. A gruesome but fun game for them and for their listeners to choose which murder they would prefer most if you HAD to choose.
With each episode running for around 40 mins, some of the teams popular podcasts have covered topics such as Murdered on Set, Crocodile Tears, Politicians and Murders, Sportspeople Who Murder and this weeks topical episode discussing the very sad recent murder of Sarah Everard with the theme Trusted Profession Murders.
And its that format that’s proving to be the shows success.
Melanie and Holly have always enjoyed documentary style shows, especially relating to crime and murders, where real life situations provide an incite into the people involved in them, and the combination of real life drama and reading crime novels, provided a perfect storm to launch their podcast back in 2018.
The team ask for their listeners to contribute to each show, and it appears to be working with their True Crime Podcast getting a 5 star rating on iTunes, and weekly traffic continuing to grow.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
