I honestly don't know much about what it takes to win a Pulitzer. But while scrolling down that page, I was crossing my fingers for APM's podcast In the Dark to win something. The second season following the Curtis Flowers case is fascinating, infuriating, beautiful, harrowing, and culminates in a US Supreme Court case... I don't know where that podcast sits on the spectrum of "pulp crime interest" to "genuine reporting" but IMO it's far, far on the side of "genuine reporting".

Same. It re-opened the case and got it all the way to the Supreme Court, so that's pretty huge.

If I'm reading the Wikipedia page correctly [0], APM's latest season finished in 2018, although it did publish updates in early 2019. IIRC to be eligible for this year's Pulitzer (specifically the one in audio reporting, which didn't exist in 2019), the season would have had to been published in 2019. That said, This American Life did win a Pulitzer in 2011, but it had ProPublica as a publishing partner, and I believe it was the first time a journalism Pulitzer went to a project that did not publish in print [1].
