About the Show
“Crime Adjacent is redefining the true crime genre…” — Podcasting Today
Crime Adjacent is the never-ending true crime thriller told weekly. It is a scripted podcast that overlays speculative storylines onto the cosmology of true crime, blurring the lines between reality and conspiracy.
Each episode unfolds like exactly like a true crime documentary with meticulous research, investigative reporting, and deep, intimate storytelling from the perspective of victims and survivors.
But it never ends.
Imagine what happens if your favorite character from your favorite thriller jumped off the page and started a podcast, and you could follow along, every Wednesday, as new adventures begin.
That’s Crime Adjacent.
As each new season spirals out of control, Crime Adjacent host and serial killer survivor Chase Patrick dives deeper and deeper into true crime rabbit holes, real and imagined, and asks listeners to consider: In this age of information overload, just how real are our nightmares? Our entertainment?
Why are we drawn to humanity’s darkest impulses, and what can this teach us about ourselves, about vulnerability, about community and justice and … survival?
Go deep or go home.
That’s the motto of the podcast’s members-only True Crime Reading group – the first of its kind in true crime. It’s a place where die-hard true crime and criminal profiling fans can nerd out and explore the show’s big issues together.
In the first season, host Chase Patrick investigates the Rest Stop Killer — quite possibly the most prolific serial killer in American history.
In the latest season, Season 8, Chase and the Crime Adjacent team head to Northern Michigan where a series of bizarre late-night break ins soon escalate to murder and reveal why Michigan has always been a breeding ground for serial killers.
