True Detective Season 2 Podcast Directory

True Detective recently came back for its second season, which means it’s time to find some podcasts discussing the show.

I enjoyed listening to a couple podcasts about the show during the first season, though many were guilty of putting the show’s mystery elements on a pedestal and hyping up expectations for a mind-blowing conspiracy twist.

The first season already had a large number of podcasts which seemed to spring up as people discovered the show mid-season, but the first season’s massive success and nearly a year of anticipation means that the second season will inevitably attract many more podcasters. There’s a certain dedication and lack of other commitments that’s required to start podcasting about a show that you heard about last week and just caught up on yesterday, which meant that all the first season podcasts felt of the same die-hard dedicated fan breed. I’m excited for a more diverse line-up of podcasts now that True Detective has seeped its tendrils into the public consciousness.

Let me know on Twitter about any missing podcasts or incorrect info.
