Court TV was one of the original television channels that originated the true crime boom. The Court TV Podcast extends the legendary crime channel's brand. It was one of the first channels to ever show a murder trial live on TV. This podcast allows listeners to further explore the details behind some well-known crimes. This series may also touch on cases that listeners aren't familiar with.

The Court TV Podcast's host is Vinnie Politan. Politan has been the lead anchor of the channel since it relaunched in its digital format in 2019. Politan's professional past makes him the person to work with Court TV. Politan's background in the legal field is extensive. He worked as a prosecutor in Bergen County, New Jersey. He then went to work in the private sector at the law firm of Carella-Byrne. This would lead him to a career in journalism and working with Court TV.

But Politan isn't hosting the Court TV Podcast on his own. Depending on the episode's topic, other distinguished true crime journalists will also show up. Well-known names like Tamron Hall will also often make appearances on the podcast.

The Court TV Podcast offers a wide variety of types of episodes. One is the Someone They Knew series. These focus on murders that involve the victim knowing the person who killed them. Another is the Judgement series. It talks about famous past trials, like the Charles Manson trial.

This podcast also provides coverage of more recent civil and criminal major trials. Past topics include the Jussie Smollett case and the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial. If it involves the world of true crime, the Court TV Podcast likely already has someone covering the case.

Listeners can hear new episodes of the podcast as they premiere every Thursday. Each episode is around 45 minutes long.
