Murder She Spoke is a weekly true crime victim-focused podcast covering Scottish cases.

Hosted by Emma and Joannagh who hail from Scotland, each week we discuss a new case with empathy and sensitivity. We strive to shine a light on unsolved cases, in the hope that keeping these victims at the forefront of people's minds may contribute to a conclusion for victim's families.

We give true crime recommendations at the beginning of each episode and discuss cases afterwards, focusing on the psychology of the perpetrator(s).

Each episode is ended on a light-hearted note with a crime related tidbit or anecdote.
