This second season of the Globe’s narrative podcast examines the unsolved disappearance and murder of Amber Tuccaro, a 20-year-old Cree woman last seen getting into a vehicle with an unknown man in Edmonton.

In this episode, award-winning journalist Jana Pruden retraces Amber’s final days through conversations with her loved ones and a haunting piece of evidence she left behind. A great deal of care went into every detail of this series, from the Cree-language episode titles to the respect shown for cultural context and protocols. Amber’s killer has still not been found.

Hosted by journalist Laura Palmer, Island Crime focuses on unsolved cases from Vancouver Island, with a clear emphasis on victims whose lives have often been dismissed or misunderstood.

In this episode, Palmer begins unpacking the Whiskey Creek Murders, a Halloween night massacre where the victims’ struggles with substance use and poverty shaped a public narrative that implied their lives mattered less, and challenges that framing head-on by centering who they were and why their deaths still demand justice.

Crime Story explores fascinating true crime stories with a storyteller or journalist who knows it best. Host Kathleen Goldhar is a seasoned investigative journalist and podcaster with a knack for curious questions that get right to the heart of the case.

This episode, she’s joined by an Australian journalist to get to the bottom of the high-profile “Mushroom Murders” trial that gripped the nation — a woman invited her relatives for lunch and served them beef wellingtons, laced with toxic death cap mushrooms.

Canadian True Crime revisits the country’s most high-profile serial killer: the pig farmer who confessed to murdering 49 women on his farm, many of them sex workers and Indigenous women. Moving beyond the familiar caricature of a lone monster in muddy boots, the series examines how culture, systems, and institutional failures allowed violence against vulnerable women to continue for years.

In this episode, host Kristi Lee traces the roots of that harm, centering the women who were targeted, the people who loved them, and the warning signs that were missed when their lives were treated as expendable. Robert Pickton’s final chapter might now be closed, but the evidence suggests he did not act alone.
