  • Audio from TV

    It’s fine. Lots of repetition and filler, and often the narrative is describing something visual, but it’s a decent background podcast. You don’t have to listen very closely to follow along.

  • Not great turned into a podcast

    While the limited series are better, you can tell the original broadcast was a visual format as the podcasts are not great as audio-only. No one is introduced so you don’t always have a sense of who is speaking. Many of the longer episodes are also super repetitive (presumably around commercial breaks) and would be drastically improved with a little editing.

  • Umm…comprendo español un pocito…

    When your episodes interview people who speak Spanish only, use a translator after they speak or at least give the summary. Cultural diversity and learning other languages is great and all but those of us who only speak English and maybe took Spanish in high school would like to know what that poor mother is saying about her beautiful daughter who was murdered.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The After Show: The Secret in the Water
Q: What changed when Steve Gates provided new information?
His immunity-backed testimony offered a version of events that aligned with the police investigation and connected Regina's disappearance to the arson and murder, enabling prosecutors to pivot the case and secure a conviction years later.
The After Show: The Secret in the Water
Q: What made this case so persistent in the public imagination?
The combination of a long-unsolved disappearance, the seemingly ordinary life of Regina Hicks juxtaposed with a troubling alibi and timing, and later dramatic court revelations kept the story alive for decades in public memory.
The After Show: Betrayal: Secrets and Lies
Q: Why do you think Betrayal resonates with large audiences and listeners?
Andrea suggests it taps into real fears and curiosity about how someone you love could turn into a stranger, while the resilience of survivors keeps audiences engaged and hopeful.
True Crime Vault: House of Cards
Q: How did investigators determine a likely suspect given limited physical evidence?
They pursued alibis, examined past relationships, and followed documentary leads like letters, diaries, and a complex web of people connected to the victims, while corroborating with phone and financial records.
Bridge of Lies: A Bonus Conversation with Brad Mielke
Q: What draws you to true crime stories as a journalist?
Juju discusses using true crime to explore larger social issues like mass incarceration, consent, and redemption, and highlights the emotional impact of investigators' dedication.
