About Canadian True Crime

From the snowy streets of small‑town Canada to the darkest corners of its biggest cities, Canadian True Crime immerses you in the country’s most compelling cases.

Hosted by Aussie‑Canadian creator Kristi Lee, the podcast goes beyond the headlines with meticulous research and a trauma‑informed lens — exploring what happened, why it happened and the impact on those left behind.

With more than 75 million downloads, Canadian True Crime is Canada’s leading independent podcast.


Real stories told with purpose

Canadian True Crime is a fully scripted narrative podcast that examines one carefully-chosen case at a time, from start to finish.

Most episodes focus on solved cases where the facts are already established, allowing for a more analytical and educational approach rather than an investigative one.

With the help of a small talented team, Kristi Lee brings curiosity and attention to detail as she draws from public and court records, news archives, academic research and, when possible, participation from victims and survivors.

On Canadian True Crime, you’ll hear responsible storytelling grounded in nuance and empathy. We’re committed to challenging harmful narratives and amplifying marginalized voices in the hope of contributing to a more compassionate, informed society.

The podcast is non-partisan.
