Murdaugh Murders Podcast was a true crime podcast by Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney that ran from June 2021 to May 2023.[1] According to Apple Podcasts, in 2021 it was the number one ranked podcast in the world for that year.[2] According to the Washington Post, the podcast was influential in first introducing the public to the Murdaugh family and the trial and conviction of Alex Murdaugh, concerning the murder of his wife and son in South Carolina.[2] According to The Guardian, the podcast "enthralled the country" and was influential with major studios in deciding to make their own versions of the story.[3] Matney's investigations often led to breaking new information about the case.[3] As of early 2023, the podcast was being developed into a scripted series at Hulu called The Murdaugh Murders.[4]

In 2023, the podcast was renamed "True Sunlight: Exposing Crime and Corruption", broadening its scope to other true crime stories.
