The rise of true crimes podcasts and series have grown over the last five years, being much more popular with women than men. 

In fact, stats indicate that despite fifty-six percent of podcast listeners being male, it's the ladies who contribute the most to True Crime listeners. 

A Twitter study of True Crime listeners showed that bar one podcast in the genre, women largely dominated the sector.

But it comes as no surprise as there's a whole section of Tumblr dedicated to it. 

That's why we can't WAIT for Netflix's new documentary on serial killer, Ted Bundy.

We will be treated to a four-part series investigating his life, 30 years after his execution for his crimes.

Netflix will be releasing "Conversation with A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes" in the US on January 24, 2019 – the dates for IE/UK have yet to be announced.

Taking to Twitter, the streaming giant promised that the new series would take us into "the mind of the infamous serial killer".  

The look into Ted's crimes and the media frenzy that followed his trial and sentencing was directed by Joe Berlinger.

The new Netflix release will include previously unheard audio interviews with Ted when he was on death row in Florida.

In the 1970s, the serial killer wrecked havoc in the US and although he finally admitted to killing 30 people, the number of victims unknown and is suspected to be higher.

We will definitely be watching this one.

Halloween is upon us, and so, we have decided to switch up our listening material. 

We scoured the SHEmazing HQ to discover our favourite podcasts focusing on horror, true crime and freaky fiction.

Check out the top 5 below: 

The No Sleep Podcast

No Sleep does exactly what it says on the tin – you'll be tossing and turing all night after listening to these terrible tales. 

This podcast coveres scary works of fiction – from murders to monsters to ghosts to just plain old unsettling events. 

Generation Why 

Generation Why is basically the don of all true crime podcasts. 

Covering murders and strange disappearances, the dastardly duo who present each episode delve deep into the underbelly of disturbed human behavior with each episode. 

Australian True Crime

Is there anything more terrifying than true crime? 

As well as divulging the details of some of Australia's most horrifying murders, the podcast also examines difficult subjects like sexual offences and drug-related crime.

My Favourite Murder

Presented by comedians Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, this podcast examines various macabre murders. 

The pair clearly have an intense interest in the subject, and rely on their knowledge and chemistry to make each podcast completely hilarious. 

Serial Killers

Serial Killers, hosted by true crime enthusiasts Greg and Vanessa, covers some of the most chilling cases ever recorded.

From the Chessboard Killer Alexander Pichushkin to the notorious Ted Bundy, the podcast explores the in-depth psychology of the criminal mind.

If you're fascinated by serial killers and feel there's a criminologist in you only dying to get out, then chances are you're constantly on the hunt for documentaries and TV shows which delve into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

And that's where this new series comes in.

Ladies, David Fincher has returned to Netflix with MINDHUNTER, a rigorous study of the damaged psyches of serial killers and the innovative FBI Agents who attempt to understand and catch them.

So, what can you expect from the man who brought us Seven, Gone Girl and House of Cards?

MINDHUNTER follows ambitious FBI agent Holden Ford, played by Jonathan Groff, as he struggles to comprehend incarcerated killers, so that he might use this knowledge to catch others.

He’s teamed with experienced agent Bill Tench, played by Holt McCallany, in the Behavioural Science Unit and will work with his sometimes reluctant partner to find new methods of investigation.

Together they will meet some of America’s gravest killers – and face the cynicism and scorn of the tradition-bound hierarchy of the 1970s’ Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Ford will risk empathizing with ‘evil’ in order to save lives. But, as Tench says, when arguing the case for their work: “How do we get ahead of crazy if we don’t know how crazy thinks?”

All 10 episodes of MINDHUNTER became available to Netflix members worldwide as of yesterday, so if you didn't spend last night with your eyes glued to it, you know what to do tonight.

The hosts peel back the psychological layers, unveiling the history of the criminal, his or her motive, and the crimes themselves. 

'Serial Killers takes a psychological and entertaining approach to provide a rare glimpse into the mind, methods and madness of the most notorious serial killers with the hopes of better understanding their psychological profile,' reads the podcast description.

They even use voice actors to recreate conversations and evidence which was documented at the time of the crime. 

They also use chilling real recordings of the murderers discussing their crimes. 

If you love an in-depth, insightful divulgence of sinister crime, this is the one for you. 

You can find it on Spotify, Soundcloud, iTunes or Parcast.com.
