true crime pods where the victim gets more than a footnote

judged by how much runtime goes to who they were, not just how they died

spends as much time on Jacob Wetterling's family and the search as the man who did it. season 2 is great too, this one started it all

Bear Brook

Believed

Michigan Radio's coverage of the Nassar case. mostly gymnasts talking in their own words, not a narrator summarizing it for them

The Teacher's Pet

aussie one, Hedley Thomas basically solved a cold case by making this. Lynette Dawson's sisters get more airtime than the husband does

West Cork

the one i'm least sure belongs on this list tbh, it drifts toward "was it him" more than i'd like. still good production
