Murder on Silk Road

Welcome to "Murder on Silk Road," a true crime podcast hosted by childhood friends Julia and Lina, joined occasionally by their friend Angela as a special guest. Every other week, they take turns sharing a captivating case from Asia or Europe, drawing on their cultural backgrounds and experience living on both continents.

With a perfect blend of research and storytelling, the hosts take listeners on a haunting journey (or at least they try to), unraveling the mysteries, motives, and investigations behind some of the most intriguing criminal acts in Eurasia. Between these more intense episodes, they offer a refreshing "in-between" segment, discussing related topics that arise from the cases or providing a much-needed palette cleanser from the darker aspects of true crime. Tune in to "Murder on Silk Road" for an enthralling and thought-provoking exploration of humanity's darkest deeds.

Be sure to check out their instagram where they post pictures associated with each case they cover!
