About

The Onion is a satirical news site originally beginning its life as a college print publication. Yet, if you were to ask The Onion who they were, they would tell you that they are “the world’s leading news publication” with humble beginnings dating back to the 1700’s. Over the years, The Onion has produced print, online, and video content. And now under the brand Onion Public Radio, they have entered the podcast market as well.

Thoughts

A Very Fatal Murder is what you envision it to be, a true-crime podcast centered on David Pascall as he attempts to solve the death of teenager Hayley Price. Tired of the true-crime genre? Can I interest you in a satirical true-crime podcast?

Within the first few minutes of the podcast, I found myself laughing aloud which quickly followed me grasping my mouth shut as passengers gave me shifty looks on our shared morning commute. The Onion highlights everything we’ve ever wondered when listening to a true-crime podcast and kicks it up just a notch to really drive home the point.

If you want something short, binge-worthy, entertaining, and with the appeal for a second listen, this may be something for you.
