Crimecase By AI

Crimecase by AI is a documentary-style true crime podcast written and narrated entirely by artificial intelligence.

Each episode focuses on one real case at a time, based only on verified public sources from reputable news organisations, court records and official documents. No speculation, no dramatization – just a calm, structured walkthrough of what is actually known.

The stories cover cases from the US, Europe, Australia and the Nordic countries, with a clear, analytical tone inspired by public-service and BBC-style documentaries.

Crimecase by AI is created for listeners who prefer evidence over rumours, and documented facts over sensational storytelling.

The Lang Fairy Tale Project 🧚

Launched in 2025 to help us bridge gaps between main series, we began by sharing readings from us of the iconic stories found in the Blue Fairy Book compiled by Andrew Lang.

From the Red Fairy Book onwards, we have also spent time digging into the stories, their histories and relationships to tale types, and are engaged in an ongoing mission to celebrate the woman truly behind the 12 coloured fairy books – Andrew’s wife Leonora, whose impact on children’s literature and fantasy fiction cannot be understated.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Fantasy and Science Fiction Short Stories, a podcast dedicated to unearthing literary gems from a bygone era. Join us as we delve into the captivating worlds of imagination and speculation crafted by masters of the genre, transporting you to realms of wonder and possibility during your daily commute or whenever you seek an escape from the mundane.

Why the Golden Age?

The period roughly spanning the 1930s to the 1960s is often hailed as the Golden Age of Science Fiction and Fantasy. This era witnessed an explosion of creativity, with authors like Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert Heinlein pushing the boundaries of the genre. Their stories, published in now-classic magazines like Astounding Science Fiction, Galaxy Science Fiction, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and Weird Tales, explored themes of technology, society, humanity, and the unknown with a unique blend of intellectual rigor and imaginative flair.

Why a Podcast?

In today's fast-paced world, finding time to sit down with a good book can be a challenge. As a fellow Gen Xer who grew up devouring these stories and now spends hours commuting, I understand the need for engaging audio content to make those journeys more enjoyable. Podcasts offer a perfect solution, allowing us to immerse ourselves in captivating narratives while on the go.

This podcast is born from a desire to share the magic of these classic tales with a new generation of listeners and to rekindle the sense of wonder for those who, like me, remember them fondly. By bringing these stories to life through audio, we hope to make them accessible to a wider audience and ensure that their brilliance continues to inspire and entertain.

Puerto Fractal es lo que pasa cuando llevas una plática hasta sus últimas consecuencias.

Todo empieza con una idea suelta. Tiramos del hilo y dejamos que choque con lo que se ponga enfrente. Sin solemnidad y sin buscar tener la razón. Es solo el acto de pensar en voz alta, conectar los puntos y ver a dónde llegamos cuando la conversación se vuelve incómoda.

Si te aburre la superficie, dale play.
