Every story is well researched and the narrator (Megan) handles each case with respect. No sensationalizing, no banter, no trying to be funny, or get cheap clicks
Love this show, the voice, the research and the (obviously) deep care put into each episode.
This is a solid podcast. I’ve always been interested in disappearances, and cold cases. The host is considerate
and avoids casting blame to families. She also refrains from speculation and theories. Cases are very well researched with sources and links. Great work!
Megan is awesome. She does a wonderful job presenting the facts while simultaneously advocating for the individuals involved in these cases. A Simpler Time True Crime is both thorough and thoughtful. Check it out!
Amazing podcast, a real must-listen. I found this through another podcast because she did an episode on Crime with Holly and it was so good that I decided to look her up.
