About Forensic Fails: A Forensic Files Recap Podcast
Forensic Files taught us that carpet fibers can solve murders, luminol never forgets, and there’s always just enough DNA left behind to crack the case.
But how much of that science actually holds up today?
On Forensic Fails, hosts Brian and Kristin revisit classic episodes of the cult-favorite true crime series Forensic Files and take a fresh look at the evidence behind the convictions. Each week, they reopen a case, break down the forensic techniques, and separate what still makes scientific sense from what might deserve a second opinion.
Brian brings a little bit of science. Kristin brings a whole lot of snark.
Together, they explore the fibers, footprints, fingerprints, bite marks, blood spatter, and DNA breakthroughs that defined an era of true crime television—while asking the questions viewers have been thinking for years.
If you're the type of person that falls asleep to late-night true crime television marathons, this podcast is for you.
So fire up your PCR machine and grab your evidence baggies. It’s time to reopen the files!
New episodes drop weekly.

Big Patreon shout out to LITTLE SISTER! Thanks for listening and being a Patreon Supporter!
Today we are in a quaint English village where gardens, dirt and pollen hold the key to today’s case. A missing couple, a sketchy son, and a visit from Clive from Season 1 are all waiting for you in today’s episode.
Also, don’t go around telling your dates you’re a gynecologist. That’s just ewwww.
