For Georgia Love, Friday nights mean a glass of red and a true crime podcast. The journalist loves the ritual so much that she’s decided to create her own.
Teaming up with comedian and friend Sammy Petersen, Love now hosts the cheekily titled Not Another Crime Podcast. The show pairs its investigative skills with jaw-dropping crime stories for a unique and entertaining twist on the genre.
“I’ve always had such a fascination with true crime through my work as a news reporter,” Love told Mediaweek. “I also find it one of the most fascinating things to discuss at a dinner party or with my friends”.
In an already saturated market, it’s this dinner party-esque vibe that Love hopes to bring to audiences, giving Not Another Crime Podcast it’s edge.
“There are plenty of true crime podcasts,” Love explained, “but they either focus on a single case or take a very factual approach, dissecting old crimes with police reports. There isn’t much out there that feels like you’re sitting down over a glass of wine with a friend, chatting about what you find interesting about certain crimes.”
Love’s co-host, Petersen, agrees, adding they aim to “bring a light-hearted twist to true crime.” He said, “This podcast feels like dinner party chat for crime lovers- minus the chewing sounds!”
Episodes drop every Monday, with bonus Thursday “treats” featuring special guests. The first two episodes are already live, starting with the infamous Parker-Hulme Murder Case and a Thursday guest appearance by Georgie Tunny.
As for her ultimate unsolved case, Love admitted there’s one that keeps her up at night: “JonBenét Ramsey. It’s one of those cases that continues to fascinate,” she said.
