True Crime podcast based around cases from the little island of Ireland with feminism and some utter nonsense thrown in for good measure.
The Murder Most Irish podcast is a refreshing departure from the super-produced, journalistic true crime podcasts that dominate the genre. Instead of the polished and serious approach of shows like Dateline, this podcast offers a unique blend of best-friend banter that can't be found anywhere else. As someone who has listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, I can confidently say that these hosts are real and their friendship shines through every episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the no-nonsense delivery and refreshing honesty. The hosts don't try to sugarcoat or sensationalize the crimes they discuss; instead, they present the facts in a straightforward manner. This approach creates a sense of authenticity and trust with the listeners. Additionally, their banter adds an extra layer of entertainment value. It may not be for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it adds a personal touch and makes you feel like you're sitting with friends discussing cases.
Another great aspect is the focus on Irish cases. In an oversaturated true crime world where it's increasingly difficult to come across new stories, Murder Most Irish brings forward lesser-known cases from Ireland. This offers a fresh perspective and introduces listeners to crimes they may not have heard about before. Furthermore, for those who miss their Irish home or family, this podcast provides a comforting connection to Ireland through its hosts' accents and discussions about their homeland.
As for drawbacks, some listeners may not appreciate excessive host banter. However, even those who typically dislike it might find themselves enjoying it in this particular podcast due to the hosts' realness and genuine chemistry. Additionally, while the chat at the beginning may not be everyone's cup of tea, once the true crime portion begins, it stays on-topic and provides well-researched information.
In conclusion, The Murder Most Irish podcast is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts looking for something different from traditional journalism-style shows. Sarah Jane and Emma are engaging hosts who bring a refreshing approach to the genre with their no-nonsense delivery and personal banter. The focus on Irish cases adds an extra layer of interest, and their unique talent makes listeners feel like they're home. Whether you enjoy the camaraderie of best friends or want to discover fascinating true crime stories from Ireland, this podcast is worth adding to your playlist.
