True-crime investigative journalism podcast examining one cold case per season through interviews, documents, and records.
Accused is a true-crime investigative podcast that adopts one suspicious death or cold case per season and examines it in depth. Hosted by investigative journalists Amber Hunt and Amanda Rossmann, each season takes approximately one year to investigate, utilizing witness interviews, police documents, and court records to uncover what really happened.
The podcast premiered in September 2016 and has published four complete seasons as of 2025. Each season consists of multiple episodes that build a comprehensive narrative around its featured case. The show is produced in partnership with USA TODAY and regional outlets including The Cincinnati Enquirer and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, bringing professional journalistic standards to cold-case investigation.
Accused is available on multiple platforms including its dedicated website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and LiSTNR, with ad-free access available through qualifying subscriptions. The series has established itself as a rigorous alternative to typical true-crime podcasts, prioritizing thorough reporting and archival research over sensationalism.
