AWARD-WINNING PODCAST ‘CRIME BEAT’ RETURNS FOR ITS SIXTH SEASON
February 20, 2024
For Immediate Release
February 20, 2024 – Corus Entertainment’s podcast network, Curiouscast, is pleased to announce that the latest season of its acclaimed podcast, Crime Beat, will premiere Wednesday, February 27 on all platforms, and today exclusively for Amazon Prime members. This season, Host and Crime Reporter Nancy Hixt takes you inside some of the most serious cases she’s covered in the last 30 years as a journalist.
“You’ll not only hear directly from the victims and their families, but also get an inside perspective from the original detectives who worked on these cases. Officials who worked the case will return with me to the crime scenes decades later, sharing intimate details and the cutting-edge techniques used to solve them,” said Nancy Hixt.
The program has earned various awards from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), including the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award, and was also named one of Amazon’s Best Podcasts in 2022. Following its success, the podcast was adapted for television, and is now in its fifth season airing on Global.
“Crime Beat has set the gold standard for what a True Crime podcast can be,” said Director of Streaming and Podcasting, Chris “Dunner” Duncombe. “Nancy’s unparalleled dedication in bringing amazing stories to light is the reason the podcast has received the accolades it has. I could not be more excited for season six.”
New episodes will be released bi-weekly, on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music and wherever you find your favourite podcasts. Learn more at https://curiouscast.ca/.
