FAQ's

What's your podcast about?
Unsolved and unresolved crimes, missing persons, possible wrongful convictions, urban legends and any other baffling mystery that takes our interest. Our goal is to give you the facts, throw in some theories, a spoonful of rabbit hole ideas and mix them all together to give you our hour (ish) long format of conversation and discussion.

Where was your new episode this week?
Thanks for noticing! At this stage, we are releasing a new episode on a new topic once every two weeks. We like to dig a little deeper then your usual suspects (wiki, reddit, etc) so we really are focusing on quality over quantity.

We may sneak in an extra episode here and there so subscribe to our RSS and iTunes feeds so you don't miss one!


How do I suggest a story?
Email us at insightfulpod@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, tweet @insightfulpod, send us a message on Instagram or leave a message on the website.

Where do you get your research material?
The internet, books and documentaries. While there can be a whole heap of information out there on a subject, a lot can be rumours that are parroted and then taken as fact. We do our best to dig through several resources and try and verify the information we use. Sometimes it is easy to find a lot of information and sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find, well, another frog but this frog gives you that key piece of information you have spent days looking for.

One thing we will never do is use wiki as a primary research source. We will only ever use wiki as a quick overview of a case and then the fun job of researching begins!

How did you meet each other?

Charlie (a talented podcaster in her own right with two little gems of podcasts, Unblocked and Crime Lines) and Ali (little old me with zero podcasting experience) were long time listeners to another comedy true crime podcast. One day, the host, Tim mentioned in a Facebook discussion that he wanted to start a serious (i.e. not comedy) true crime podcast. Charlie offered her expertise in podcast editing and organisation and Ali jumped on the coat tails.

Due to Tim's workload with his other podcast and his day job, he wasn't able to stick around and enjoy the show past episode 3 but Charlie and Ali being already too lost in the deep web made a pact to continue on because we already know too much. We would tell you, but... You know how that story ends!

All our episodes are recorded via Skype, sometimes at ridiculous times (turns out Australia and the United States are really, really, far apart. Who knew?!). What we do is sometimes trial and error but we are having fun. So as long as you keep listening, we will keep putting episodes out!
