Top History & True Crime Podcast To Listen Too – What Are Your Favorites?

I have discovered podcast for the first time this year and there are no words to express how absolutely obsessed I am with them. They are just so much fun to listen too as I get work done throughout the day.  A great way to pass the time. Never thought I would become a podcast listener but here we are.

In today’s post, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite ones that I’ve been listening to. Most of them have to do with Tudor and royal history or true crime. They are all really great to listen to. I would be interested in adding more to my list so please leave your recommendations in the comments!

Now each of the podcast on my list are ones I listen to through amazon’s audible app and they can be found there; however, most are also posted on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Podcast Beam, etc. I just prefer using Audible because it is where I already have my audiobook library and have the app perfectly curated for my listening preferences.
