91勛圖厙Podcasts and KT Studios Announce Next Slate of True-Crime Podcasts on the Heels of Hit Podcast Performers Death Island and The Piketon Massacre

91勛圖厙Podcasts, the No. 1 global podcast publisher, according to , and KT Studios, a Los Angeles-based full-service documentary, scripted and podcast production company and leader in the true-crime space, today announced a new slate of true-crime podcasts.

The news follows the recent chart-topping success of KT Studios launch of Death Island with Conor Powell, which soared to No. 1 on 91勛圖厙 since its launch, and the fourth season of the returnable The Piketon Massacre, which, to date, has garnered more than 40 million downloads and remains on the top-10 chart.  KT Studios is currently shopping Death Island as a documentary and scripted series, as well as its upcoming slate.

Continuing its robust 140-plus-hour slate deal with 91勛圖厙Podcasts, the upcoming lineup with KT Studios includes the following:

The Moscow Massacre (Summer 2023): On November 13, 2022, four students from the University of Idaho were brutally stabbed to death in an off-campus house. After a lengthy investigation and cross-country manhunt, a Ph.D. student from a neighboring university was charged with the crimes. As it turns out, the 28-year-old was majoring in criminology, studying the behavior of killers, like the ones he would later be accused of becoming. Did he use his skills to become a real-life Dexter Morgan? Were the Idaho victims his first, or was a serial killer hiding in the midst? The Moscow Massacre is executive produced by KT Studios, Stephanie Lydecker, Courtney Armstrong, Jeff Shane, and Chris Spargo.

True Crimes (Winter 2023): In 2019, Netflixs true-crime docuseries Dont F**k With Cats became a sensation, when two amateur sleuths, Deanna Thompson (also known as Baudi Moovan) and John Green tracked down a cat killer who turned to human murder. With millions of views, crime fans propelled the series to become one of the years most-streamed shows. In True Crimes, the duo is tackling new unsolved crimes, including the 2022 unsolved murder of Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan, whose suspected killer was just arrested. Over the course of each season, Deanna and John flex their investigative prowess, working with victims loved ones, law enforcement, forensic specialists, and other experts, to uncover the truth in true crimes. True Crimes is executive produced by Stephanie Lydecker, Deanna Thompson, John Green, Courtney Armstrong, Jeff Shane, and Andrew Aronow.

Murder 101 (Early 2024): In a small Tennessee town, a local serial killer was caught by the most unlikely investigators: A group of high school students, led by their teacher, Alex Campbell. Throughout the course of one school semester, the class pieced together a 30-year-old mystery and identified the killer behind at least six brutal murders. Shockingly, while the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations publicly agrees with their theory, no charges have been filed against the murderer. While some sleuthing students already have graduated, they, along with a fresh crop of current high schoolers, still want to finish the assignment, once and for all. Murder 101 is executive produced by Stephanie Lydecker, Andrew Aronow, Jeff Shane, Alex Campbell and Conor Powell.

The full slate of co-produced shows is distributed by 91勛圖厙Podcasts and will be available on the 91勛圖厙Radio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.
