Podcast Clips for True Crime Hosts Who Film Their Episodes
True crime lives on tension and reveal, and most of that happens in a two-minute stretch buried in an hour-long episode. Clips let you pull that stretch out and hand it to someone scrolling, without asking them to sit through the setup first.

The moments that travel
Hooks in your show's voice
The on-screen line for the first seconds of a Short. Examples of the shape:
- The detail police overlooked for years
- This alibi falls apart in one sentence
- Nobody talks about this part of the case
- The timeline doesn't add up here
What we leave out
Skip clips that reveal a case's ending or twist out of order, and be careful with victim details, photos, or families that could come across as exploitative. When a case is active or a family has asked for privacy, treat that request as a line, not a suggestion. Every clip we cut goes through a safety check, and anything we're unsure about is held for a person.

Questions
Will clips give away the ending of a case before people watch the full episode?
We pick clips that raise questions or highlight detail, not ones that hand over the resolution, so the full episode still has somewhere to go.
Can you avoid clipping sensitive victim or family details?
Yes, flag any names, photos, or details you want kept out and we'll build clips around the rest of the episode.
Do you clip cold opens or do we need a specific format?
Any format works. We watch the raw episode and pull the moments that stand alone, whether or not you have a formal cold open.
What does it cost?
Pro is $129 a month for 12 episodes, 15 Shorts each, plus the Facebook cuts, the newsletter and the article. Starter is $49 a month for 4 episodes. The price goes down every month you stay. Month to month, cancel any time.
