Rolling Stone lists Enquirer's Accused among 'best true-crime podcasts of all time'

The Cincinnati Enquirer's award-winning podcast Accused has been praised as "thorough" and "gripping" by Rolling Stone magazine, which featured the show on a recent list touting the 25 best true-crime podcasts of all time.

Ranking alongside chart-busting podcasts such as Serial, Dirty John and Dr. Death, Accused was described by Rolling Stone as a program that "will keep you hooked."

"In the world of true crime, the unfortunate reality is that there are only a handful of cases that tend to get the most attention, which is why it's so refreshing to see reporters use the podcast boom to shine a light on older, less notorious cases," Rolling Stone wrote.

Accused is hosted by Enquirer journalist Amber Hunt, who reports the series with producer Amanda Rossmann. The Enquirer's Amy Wilson edits the project, while Phil Didion engineers the episodes.

Accused began in 2016 with a nine-episode season focusing on the 1978 slaying of 23-year-old Elizabeth Andes, who'd graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, just days before her boyfriend discovered her body. No one has been convicted in the case.

Accused has released three seasons since then, each focusing on a different case: the 1987 stabbing death of Retha Welch in Newport, Ky.; the mysterious disappearance of David Bocks from the Fernald uranium-processing plant in 1984, and the 1994 beating death of New Jersey native Rhoda Nathan, who was killed in her hotel room in Blue Ash, Ohio. The man convicted in Nathan's case is awaiting execution on Ohio's death row. A hearing is scheduled for August.

Rolling Stone wrote: "While these cases don't have as much notoriety as many of the other subjects on our list, Hunt's thorough reporting and gripping narration will keep you hooked regardless."
