This is true crime with journalistic integrity — and a curious, conversational edge. Every other Monday, Crime Story dives into gripping cases of every kind: from white-collar scandals and high-profile trials to under-the-radar stories you’ve never heard before.


At the heart of each episode is a deep, intimate interview with someone who knows the case inside and out — the journalists, documentarians, and storytellers who’ve reported on these crimes, chased leads for years, and lost sleep uncovering the truth. Their insights cut through the noise, revealing not just what happened, but why it matters.


Hosted by award-winning journalist Kathleen Goldhar — a true crime devotee with more than 20 years of experience and a track record of critically-acclaimed podcasts — the show blends sharp reporting with an authentic love for the genre.

  • The livestreamed downfall of alleged cult Carbon Nation
    Jun 15 2026

    Eligio Bishop, also known as NatureBoy, started out with a pretty simple purpose – dump the system he was currently in, one that systemically harmed him throughout his life, and trade it for a future off-grid in the tropics. Soon, others started joining and the group began livestreaming their idyllic lives throughout Latin America. But then, things got darker: NatureBoy ended up in prison.


    Rolling Stone writer David Peisner joins Crime Story to unpack the story of Eligio Bishop, and the world that got built around him. You can read his article "Inside Carbon Nation," here.
