Best Podcasts of 2023

This year brought us podcasts that examined interesting characters - from the super famous to the terribly infamous. There were the meticulously investigated stories of people caught in a system stacked against them. And it provided us with many series told by hosts with very personal connections to the crimes they covered. 

But which titles truly stood out? All four crime writers present their top 10 podcasts for 2023.
