A Brief Case: True Crime in Asia is a weekly, Singapore-based true crime audio documentary podcast, hosted and created by Teddy Teo. The show specializes in exploring shocking, under-covered criminal cases from across the Asian continent. Episodes, typically lasting between 12 and 20 minutes, feature well-researched storytelling that examines a wide spectrum of cases—from royal family assassinations in Nepal and snake-bite homicides in India to courtroom lynchings, unsettling kidnappings, insurance-fraud murders, haunted hotel disappearances, and infamous international mysteries like the “Blue Diamond Affair.”

Teo delivers each case with a succinct but vivid style: setting the scene, detailing the sequence of events, presenting both documented facts and credible theories, and at times incorporating regional context or commentary from local experts. While the podcast originally began with a focus on Singaporean incidents, it quickly expanded its scope to encapsulate stories from throughout Asia.

Noted for its crisp narrative approach, short runtimes, and a strong emphasis on accuracy and respect, A Brief Case avoids sensationalism, preferring to offer cultural sensitivity and thoughtful context. Listeners have praised the show for being well-researched, concise, and for shining a light on lesser-known stories, making it a standout in the true crime genre, especially compared to more sensationalist podcasts on similar topics.
