CRIMERY is a long-form true crime podcast that goes beyond headlines to examine the people, psychology, and systems behind some of the most disturbing crimes in American history. Each episode is built from original research, police records, court documents, and contemporary reporting — presented with narrative restraint and respect for victims and their families.
CRIMERY focuses not just on what happened, but how it was allowed to happen, and why certain cases continue to haunt communities decades later.
Jennifer Novotney brings a lifetime of close reading and literary analysis to CRIMERY. An educator who teaches the classics — Frankenstein, Dracula, Wuthering Heights, The Turn of the Screw — she takes texts apart to show you what you'd never see on your own. Her book breakdown series walks listeners through the greatest true crime writing ever published, section by section.
Tim Novotney is a three-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and documentary producer. He covers the cases — the unsolved disappearances, the cold murders, the stories that haunt Pennsylvania communities decades later. Built from police records, court documents, and original research.
