Status Macabre - True Crime Podcast
Status Macabre
Show overview
Status Macabre launched in 2021 and has put out 30 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 35 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 2nd season.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 18m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language True Crime show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.8 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year.
From the publisher
