Moordzaken Podcast
A Dutch true crime podcast where two hosts reconstruct solved murder cases, framed by the news and culture of the year the crime occurred.
This is a narrative true crime show where two hosts walk listeners through a single solved Dutch murder case per episode. Each case is contextualized with a signature deep dive into the news, politics, and pop culture of the year it occurred, giving the crimes a distinct 'time capsule' feel. The hosts blend detailed case files with their own conversational dynamic as they piece together the investigation and trial.
“The signature 'year in review' segment, which frames the crime within the zeitgeist of the era, sets it apart from other true crime shows. Its strict focus on solved Dutch cases allows for a complete, factual narrative from crime to conviction, avoiding speculation.”
Who hosts this show
Moordzaken is hosted by Carine Voshaar (Carrie) and Edward van der Marel (Eddie), who discuss solved Dutch murder cases in an accessible and respectful manner.

In May 2026, after a six-year run, nearly 40 million downloads, and winning a Dutch Podcast Award, the hosts announced the podcast would be ending.
