Best Brazilian & Latin American True Crime Podcasts (2026)
True crime coverage of Brazil and the wider Latin American region has stayed almost entirely outside English-language podcast directories, despite a huge and engaged Latin American podcast audience and no shortage of cases worth telling. Shows covering this territory tend to be hosted by people with direct ties to the region, bridging cases that stayed local with an English-speaking audience that has never heard of them.
Latin America spans dozens of countries and legal systems, so true crime coverage here is necessarily broad — but the best shows bring the same care and detail that listeners expect from major US or UK productions, applied to cases that have stayed imprinted in local memory without ever crossing into wider recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a notable podcast covering Brazilian and Latin American true crime?
Suspiria, hosted by Carol and Stephanie — both born and raised in Brazil — covers true crime cases across Latin America, including Brazil, Mexico, and Chile, for an English-speaking audience.
Why is Latin American true crime underrepresented in English-language podcasting?
Most major true crime directories and review sites are built around US, UK, and Australian content, largely because that's where the earliest and best-funded productions came from. Latin America has an enormous domestic podcast audience, but very little of its true crime content is produced in English or reaches international directories.
Are Latin American true crime podcasts available internationally?
Yes — English-language shows covering the region, like Suspiria, are available globally on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, the same as any other podcast in the genre.
Which countries does Latin American true crime coverage typically span?
Coverage varies by show, but commonly includes Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and Argentina — reflecting both population size and the volume of well-documented cases in each country.
Is this a growing area for true crime podcasting?
Yes — Latin America has one of the fastest-growing podcast audiences globally, and English-language coverage of the region's true crime cases is still catching up to that demand.
