Each week, we read aloud one chapter from a remarkable book first published in London in 1735: a sprawling collection of murderers, highwaymen, coiners, housebreakers, pirates and worse, recorded in vivid and unsparing detail. The crimes are real. The voices are authentic. And the world they reveal, brutal, strange, and surprisingly familiar, has been waiting three centuries to be heard again. True crime did not begin with podcasts. It began here by the burning light of a candle.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-30T00:19:40.894239+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals-7851653"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 000: Introduction to The Lives Of the Most Remarkable Criminals","slug":"episode-000-introduction-to-the-lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals","published_at":"2026-05-19T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals-7851653/episode-000-introduction-to-the-lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals-7851653","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2616179/episodes/19201163-episode-000-introduction-to-the-lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2616179/episodes/19201163-episode-000-introduction-to-the-lives-of-the-most-remarkable-criminals.mp3","summary":"Send us your Feedback This is not a podcast about true crime.
