It’s time for me to praise another amazing podcast I discovered this year. I highly recommend the podcast Red Handed, in which hosts Suruthi and Hannah, in their own words, “jump head first into all manner of macabre madness. We cover everything from big time serial killers (and those you may never have heard of), to hauntings, possessions, disturbing mysteries, bizarre whodunits and basically anything that tickles our creepy fancy. So, join us, plug in, sit back and prepare for scares.”
Hannah and Suruthi share a wonderful dynamic and wicked sense of humor, while always treating victims and serious topics with respect. Their research and commentary is not to be missed.
If you’re brave of heart and strong of stomach, I suggest checking out their Halloween Special Part 1 (Episode 19) and Part 2 (Episode 20). Unlike most episodes, in which the hosts discuss one case or story together, in these episodes the two go back and forth, sharing brief sketches of creepy history, each attempting to freak out the other.
If you’re looking for something less harrowing for your Halloween listening, check out How Not to Fake Your Death (Episode 41). Canoe do you think you are?
On a darker note, the hosts also tackle tragic cases such as the Moors Murders of 1963-1965 in/around Manchester, England (in Episodes 50 and 51). The horror of those murders was the inspiration for the haunting song “Suffer Little Children” by The Smiths. You can read the lyrics here.
