Frequently Asked Questions

What true crime podcasts are exclusive to Audible?

Audible has commissioned several original true crime productions as part of its exclusive content strategy. These include documentary-style audio series with high production values that function similarly to podcast seasons. Check the platform section on each podcast page to see what's available exclusively on Audible.

Is Audible true crime content different from regular podcasts?

Audible true crime content is often produced to a higher specification than average podcasts — more sophisticated editing, professional narration, and original music. Some Audible productions are indistinguishable from documentary films in audio form.

Do I need an Audible subscription to access true crime podcasts?

Most of the premium true crime content on Audible requires a subscription or individual purchase. Audible offers a one-credit-per-month subscription that can be used on any title. Some content is included free with an Audible Plus or Premium Plus subscription.

Can I get Audible content on other podcast apps?

Audible Originals and exclusive productions are not available on other platforms. If a show is listed as available on Audible on ListenTrueCrime, the full production or exclusive episodes can only be accessed through the Audible app or website.

What's the difference between Audible and other podcast platforms?

Unlike Spotify or Apple Podcasts, which primarily distribute existing podcasts, Audible commissions original content and distributes commercially produced audiobooks. True crime content on Audible is generally more polished and may include content that goes deeper than typical podcast episodes.
