Introducing Stupid Crime, the podcast that brings you the most outrageous and ridiculous crimes from around the world. From bungling burglars to hapless heisters, we explore the wacky, weird, and downright stupid crimes that make you wonder what people were thinking.
Thanks for supporting our podcasts!
As a special treat, I’d love to share the first episode of a new podcast we’ve been working on.
We know many listeners use true crime to fall asleep, and while we get why, we wanted to offer you a less unsettling way to drift off.
The show is called Silent Secrets — a bedtime podcast for curious minds. It’s designed to help you slowly drift into sleep, letting go of the day’s worries and exploring the quiet wonders of the world.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to the first episode on The Mary Celeste. New episodes will drop every Monday in the Silent Secrets feed. We’d love it if you could follow and rate the show on your favourite podcast platform.
If you have any feedback, feel free to drop us a line at info@podshape.com (mailto:info@podshape.com).
