Realm, the podcast-first digital media network, today announced the addition of three acclaimed shows to its growing slate of true crime podcasts. I Think Not!, Crime Salad, and Moms & Mysteries bring their distinct voices and passionate fanbases to Realm, which will manage distribution and multi-channel monetization for the shows.
Hosted by Broadway best friends Ellyn Marsh and Joey Taranto, I Think Not! offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at the world of true crime TV. From murder and crooked cops to tax evasion and scams, the pair take listeners through real stories and the campy television that covers them, bringing humor, heart, and a bit of Broadway flair to every case.
Their chemistry, sharpened from years of performing together, makes each episode feel like a night out with your funniest (and most dramatic) friends. Crime Salad, hosted by husband-and-wife duo Ashley and Ricky, serves up bite-sized weekly true crime stories told with empathy, integrity, and clarity. Known for their compelling storytelling and commitment to truth and victim advocacy, the pair dive deep into cases, unraveling twists while fostering a strong listener community through Q&As, bonus episodes, and thoughtful discussion. Moms & Mysteries is hosted by longtime friends Mandy and Melissa, who bring warmth, wit, and levity to the true crime space. Conversational and community-driven, the show explores both well-known and lesser-told true crime stories, always balancing sharp insight with their signature humor.
Featured on 20/20, MSNBC, and in The New York Times, the show continues to rank among the top true crime podcasts on Apple Podcasts thanks to its loyal audience and the hosts’ authentic, approachable style.
“Each of these shows approaches true crime in a totally unique way—whether that’s through humor, humanity, or deep-dive reporting,” said Mary Assadullahi, Vice President at Realm.
“I Think Not!, Crime Salad, and Moms & Mysteries represent the best of what this genre has to offer and are perfect examples of the authentic, compelling, and creator-driven storytelling we’re proud to support at Realm.” I Think Not!, Crime Salad, and Moms & Mysteries are all available on the Realm network. Listeners can find them wherever they get their podcasts.
