4.1 out of 5 stars from 13.7k ratings
  • This Episode made me mad, fact the police did that to an innocent man, and refused to go after the real criminal because they were "certain" that her boyfriend did it.

  • No translations

    Because they are just uploading the audio from the actual tv show they never add translations when interviewing someone in a different language. I’m sure it’s on the tv show but a little more effort there would be nice

  • Separate After The Show Show to another Podcast

    I am not. fan of hearing the notes and chatty updates. Seems there are more of those than stories. I just like to listen to the stories.

  • Disjointed

    Please make the multiple-episode shows at least their own folder. I would prefer to binge them, but if you’re going to release them ine by one at least put them under a

    Separate umbrella so we don’t have to figure out which episode we are on or which ones we have or have not listened to.

    It’s exhausting and other shows have this already managed.
