Weekly Podcast Guide Week 21: 18 May–24 May 2025

Week 21 is one of the strongest weeks of the year for true crime podcasts. Both Danish and international productions have new episodes ready, and several of them tackle cases that KrimiNyt's readers know well. The editorial team has listened through the week's releases and compiled the most important recommendations here.

Danish True Crime in Focus

The Danish podcasts stand out in a class of their own this week. Mordlinjen returns with an episode about an unsolved murder from Jutland, where new witness statements have allegedly come to light. The team behind the show has spent months mapping the gaps in the investigation, and the episode promises to call the police's priorities at the time into question.

Krimikassen — one of the most listened-to Danish true crime podcasts — publishes on Tuesday 20 May a deep dive into fraud in Denmark, focusing on a case that shook the business community at the time. The hosts combine archival material with interviews and deliver a well-structured walkthrough that is perfectly suited to the daily commute.

For the more documentary-minded listener, Danmarks Radio's Åben og Ærlig format releases a bonus episode on forensic methods in connection with a solved cold case, offering a rare glimpse into how modern DNA technology can reopen cases that everyone had given up on.
