True Crime South Africa

TimesLIVE Podcasts
Nachrichten und Politik, Gesellschaft und Kultur

True Crime South Africa is the first victim-focused true-crime podcast in the country. Host, Nicole Engelbrecht, researches each case herself using media coverage, trial footage, social media sources and often by talking to some of the individuals involved. Using her skills as a creative writer and her passion for true crime, she crafts each script to ensure that listeners are given a deep dive into the case mechanics as well as an understanding of the victims as human beings. The podcast covers both solved and unsolved South African true crime cases. The unsolved cases are often cold cases which can benefit from awareness being brought to them. This concept has been used in the US for many years and to great success. The listenership formed around true crime podcasts becomes a community that advocates for victims and resolution for families. South African victims now have their own voice too. True Crime South Africa publishes weekly, alternating between full-length case episodes and shorter minisodes which discuss true crime cases that are currently in the media. The podcast launched on the 22nd of June 2019 and is making waves in the South African podcast community. On the True Crime South Africa social media pages, South African true crime fans finally have a place to call home where they can express their views on cases and discuss the details with like-minded people. True Crime South Africa is published in conjunction with Arena Holdings, publishers of TimesLIVE, BusinessLIVE, and SowetanLIVE.  Keywords: crime, true crime, murder, abduction, South Africa, police, law and order

  • 271 - Introducing the "So What?" Podcast

    Introducing the "So What?" podcast If I say “Ruda Landman” I’m pretty sure that for most South Africans the Carte Blanche music and Sunday nights come to mind. For years, Ruda was, along with her colleagues at Carte Blanche, the source of hot topic reporting and important insights, and just because she’s no longer on the show, doesn’t mean that incredible journalistic brain has stopped assessing the world in its unique way. Considering her husband JP Landman is political economic analyst, I’m pretty sure the big issue delving continues to this day in the Landman home. Imagine what that dinner table conversation is like! Well, the Landmans thought their dinner table conversations were pretty interesting too, so they started recording them, and now, it’s a podcast! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-so-what/id1713698464 https://open.spotify.com/show/1myODvk0K0uq92pZxX5NJR The first 11 episodes were literally recorded around their dinner table so you’ll hear a little difference in the audio quality when they move into studio conditions, but the conversations and insights are incredible throughout. I highly recommend finding the So What podcast wherever you listen to True Crime South Africa and get that familiar voice back into your ears.
