Only Murders in the Building - Podcasts from John Hoffman and Steve Martin

[SpotifyPodcasts]

Hey, I’m John Hoffman, the showrunner and co-Creator (along with a guy named Steve Martin) of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. We created this show because Steve had a genius idea of three amateur investigators getting caught up in a very real murder mystery in their New York apartment building — and then we took it a bit further by having that trio make their own true-crime podcast as they go about their investigation. Comedy and thrills ensue!

Naturally, when researching, we went in search of some great podcasts to get inspired. Steve is the major true crime aficionado here and so myself and our brilliant team of writers dove into his favorite podcast, the first on this list:

#1. CASE FILE

#2. SERIAL

#3. S-TOWN

and along the way we discovered the great:

#4. GENERATION WHY

and, for the more relatable fan-based nature of our show,

#5. MY FAVORITE MURDER.

Check any of those out and I promise a fascinating time of it — and be sure not to miss the finale of ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING which drops on Hulu on Tuesday, October 19th! Comment below on who YOU think murdered Tim Kono — and feel free to share other true crime podcast favorites of your own as we get ready for Season 2!

Hey John! Thanks for sharing those podcasts inspiration for the show!

I just finished season 1 of the show and I can't wait for season 2!

I'm a big Selena Gomez fan so as soon as I heard about this show I was really looking forward to it. Steve Martin is also a favorite.

No spoilers here, but near the end of season 1, I was expecting a certain someone to be the murderer and I ended up being correct. I can't believe it! I usually never guess correctly.

I just mentioned this show as one of my recent favorites here in this thread:

Hi John! So cool to find this thread. I just started the show so far everyone is a suspect! 

It's really clever and funny.

Thanks for the recos!
