In Human Stains, we peel back the layers of humanity’s darkest impulses to expose the indelible marks left behind by crime. This true crime podcast doesn’t just recount grisly details—it interrogates the psychological, cultural, and emotional residue that lingers long after the headlines fade. Each episode dives into a case that left a permanent stain on the lives it touched, whether through betrayal, obsession, or sheer brutality.
The title Human Stains reflects the haunting idea that crime is never clean. It leaves behind traces—on victims, families, communities, and even the perpetrators themselves. These stains are metaphors for trauma, guilt, and the irreversible consequences of human choices. Some fade. Others never do.
From infamous cold cases to lesser-known tragedies, Human Stains is a raw, reflective journey into the shadows of the human psyche. Because some stories don’t wash away.
