In this study, Tom Webster from Sounds Profitable teams up with Melissa and Mandy, hosts of the Moms & Mysteries Podcast, to unpack the latest data from the 2024 True Crime Podcast Listener Landscape Report, conducted in partnership with Signal Hill Insights and made possible through Libsyn’s support.

​The results challenge some of the common assumptions around brand suitability and listener demographics within the true crime genre, including:

​▶️ Audience Demographics: Surprising listener segments that over-index in true crime

​▶️ Brand & Ad Receptivity: How true crime audiences respond to sponsors

​▶️ The Host’s Role: The unique connection between host and listener in this genre

​In addition, Mandy and Melissa share their unique perspective on their true crime audience, offering firsthand reflections on listener impact and engagement.

​You’ll come away with a new understanding of True Crime demographics and how you can target your product/service to reach this vital audience.
