CrimeCast

These days, wherever you get your podcasts, “true crime” is a very popular category - steeped in details from the arcane to the macabre.

Here in Chattanooga, a local podcast dives into crime - cases cold and active, famous and infamous - but it also focuses on policing and the community, all powered by two storytellers.

David Roddy co-hosts the “CrimeCast” with Clint Powell.

David is a former Chief of Police for the City of Chattanooga - and now, he is Chief Operating Officer for Hamilton County Government under County Mayor Weston Wamp.
