Shadows Of Crime

Why Shadows of Crime Episodes Are Just 10 Minutes Long

When we created Shadows of Crime, one of the first decisions we made was about episode length. In a world full of long-form podcasts that can stretch well over an hour, we deliberately chose something different: ten-minute episodes.

But this wasn’t a random choice. The ten-minute format is central to what Shadows of Crime is all about.

A True Crime Podcast Designed for Busy Lives

Life is busy. Whether you're commuting, walking the dog, making a coffee, or taking a quick break during the day, finding time to listen to a full hour-long podcast can be difficult.

That’s why Shadows of Crime episodes are around ten minutes long.

This shorter format means you can:

• Listen during a short commute

• Fit an episode into a quick break

• Discover a new story without committing to a long listen

In other words, Shadows of Crime is a true crime podcast you can listen to on the go.

A Snapshot of Crimes You May Never Have Heard Of

Another important part of the podcast’s philosophy is its focus on introducing listeners to lesser-known crimes.

Rather than providing an in-depth, multi-episode investigation into a single case, Shadows of Crime aims to offer a clear and engaging overview of a crime story. Each episode explores the key events, people involved, and the lasting impact of the case.

The goal is simple:
to shine a light on crimes that many people may never have heard about.

Some of these cases may be historical, some mysterious, and others simply forgotten over time—but all of them have stories worth telling.

Short Episodes, Powerful Stories

Even in just ten minutes, a powerful story can unfold.

By focusing on the most important moments of each case, Shadows of Crime delivers:

• A concise overview of real crime stories

• Atmospheric storytelling

• Episodes that are easy to fit into everyday life

The format allows listeners to discover new true crime stories quickly and easily, without feeling overwhelmed by hours of analysis.
