    Ivy Insights

    The Canadian True Crime podcast is a hidden gem that I discovered just this year (2023). From the first episode I listened to, I instantly fell in love with it. Hosted by Kristi Lee, her voice is incredibly soothing and calm, making it easy to get lost in the stories. The podcast covers true crime cases in Canada, providing a unique perspective that sets it apart from other podcasts in the genre. It's refreshing to see a host who not only delves into the details of each case but also takes the time to promote other shows and support various charities.

    One of the best aspects of The Canadian True Crime podcast is Kristi's dedication to social justice and marginalized communities. She genuinely cares about indigenous people and other marginalized groups, and it shines through in her storytelling. Her deep dives into cases are meticulously researched and thought-provoking, providing listeners with comprehensive explorations of the problems facing both Canada and the US.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is how well-produced and laid out each episode is. The stories are told respectfully without sensationalism, and Kristi's thoroughness in reporting on each case is commendable. She provides good information without being biased or one-sided, presenting a balanced perspective that allows listeners to form their own opinions.

    However, as with any podcast, there are some aspects that could be improved upon. Some listeners have criticized the length of episodes, which may be an issue for those who prefer shorter podcasts. Additionally, Kristi has addressed negative feedback received about the show in some episodes. While it's important for hosts to address criticism constructively, some listeners may find this distracting from the main content.

    In conclusion, The Canadian True Crime podcast is a beautifully done and well-researched show that stands out among true crime podcasts. Kristi Lee's dedication to telling these stories with respect and her commitment to promoting social justice make this podcast truly remarkable. Despite minor drawbacks such as episode length and addressing negative feedback, this podcast is highly recommended for those seeking an alternative to the average true crime podcast.

The way the case unfolded in the media – and the justice system – would be hotly debated for years to come.In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you'll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It's a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.Release schedule: New episodes each day with the final episode on Friday August 23.Listen ad-free and early: The entire series will be available ad-free on our premium feeds within 24 hours - Amazon Music (included with Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.INVITATION: 15th Annual Memorial Gathering - TorontoPlease join us Saturday, August 31 at 3 p.m. at the spot where Darcy died at 151 Bloor Street West.
