True Crime Garage is produced entirely by the two hosts, the Captain said. We like our process, we like what we’re doing and we like how we’re getting it done.” “It’s not anything that we are interested in. “Most of these other shows that are popping up these days are big network shows, and they have a massive team of people,” Edwards said. Despite the show’s popularity, he said the podcast still remains independent. The podcast quickly rose to success, and the Captain said True Crime Garage now regularly makes it onto true crime charts on iTunes. He said in some of the early episodes, listeners can even hear the two of them walking around in the background and dogs barking in the distance. The Captain said he and Edwards started recording in Edwards’ garage without any high-tech sound equipment. However, after being laid off from their jobs within the same week, Edwards and the Captain said they decided to reconnect, and True Crime Garage was born at the end of 2015. The two eventually went down their own career paths, as Edwards said he stayed in Columbus while the Captain moved to Indiana. According to a 2009 article from The Lantern, Shaffer went missing after being last seen at the off-campus bar Ugly Tuna Saloona April 1, 2006, and was never found.Įdwards and the Captain, who were both born and raised in Columbus, said they have been lifelong friends and used to work on projects together prior to the podcast, such as joining the same metal and rock bands.
In addition to exploring cases as well known as the Zodiac Killer and the Delphi murders, the duo has covered one closer to home - the disappearance of Ohio State medical student Brian Shaffer. “We didn’t think anyone would listen, but we were wrong.” “It was more of an excuse to hang out to kind of work on something constructive together,” Edwards said. Now, the podcast boasts over 350 million total listens and has a large following on platforms such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Podbean, the Captain, co-host and producer of True Crime Garage, said. The true crime podcast started seven years ago as a way for co-hosts Nic Edwards and the Captain - an alias the second host uses in the podcast - to spend time with one another. With an estimated hundreds of thousands of listeners each week, True Crime Garage is one of the most-listened-to true crime podcasts in the country, and it all started in Columbus.
True Crime Garage, an independent podcast started seven years ago by Columbus residents Nic Edwards and the Captain, boasts over 350 million total listens across Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Podbean and Spotify.
