About this listen

Over 200 episodes, Canadian True Crime has become Canada’s top independent podcast.


From the snowy streets of small-town Canada to the darkest corners of the big cities, join Aussie-Canadian host Kristi Lee for an immersive deep dive into the nation's most compelling crimes.


With meticulous research and a trauma-informed approach, Kristi takes you beyond the headlines, weaving the facts of each case together with the bigger picture to unravel what happened, the forces that shaped it — and the impact to those left behind.


Canadian True Crime has remained a completely independent production since 2017, funded mainly through advertising and thanks to listeners like you. We engage in victim advocacy and give back monthly to those facing injustice. You can support our work while also listening ad-free and early on our premium feeds.
