This is true crime with journalistic integrity — and a curious, conversational edge. Every other Monday, Crime Story dives into gripping cases of every kind: from white-collar scandals and high-profile trials to under-the-radar stories you’ve never heard before.
At the heart of each episode is a deep, intimate interview with someone who knows the case inside and out — the journalists, documentarians, and storytellers who’ve reported on these crimes, chased leads for years, and lost sleep uncovering the truth. Their insights cut through the noise, revealing not just what happened, but why it matters.
Hosted by award-winning journalist Kathleen Goldhar — a true crime devotee with more than 20 years of experience and a track record of critically-acclaimed podcasts — the show blends sharp reporting with an authentic love for the genre.

Over the past decade or so, white supremacist groups with names like the Patriot Front and the Atomwaffen Division have been quietly recruiting new members online, spreading propaganda and conducting paramilitary training exercises across North America.
One of these groups is called The Base and, in the summer of 2019, Scott Payne wanted to become a member.
But Scott wasn’t a neo nazi or a rightwing extremist. He was an undercover FBI agent.
Over the course of 28 years in law enforcement Scott has infiltrated biker gangs, posed as a hitman, and ingratiated himself with drug dealers.
Now he’s taking us inside that world, with a memoir called Codename: Pale Horse, and the second season of the CBC podcast White Hot Hate, both of which he worked on with journalist Michelle Shephard.
