  • Fantastic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I first discovered this podcast through the Gisèle Pelicot episodes, and I was instantly hooked. From there, I went right back to the very first episode and have been working my way through every single one to the most recent.

    I love how each case is told with such respect, genuine empathy, and heartfelt emotion. It’s clear that so much care goes into telling the victims’ stories, and that really sets this podcast apart.

    Keep up the amazing work, Hazah!!!

  • “Like”

    I really want to enjoy this podcast. It’s so hard to find woman with voices that don’t have extreme vocal fry, sibilance, or valspeak that can make it hard to listen to the speakers. These two have a great tone that’s nice to listen to.

    However, I barely made it through episode 1. The word “like” was used so many times it was difficult to take the story seriously and pay attention. It’s a common bad habit to use “like” as a filler and it can be beyond distracting. I am hoping as they go forwa... more

  • Phenomenal Podcast

    This podcast is my favorite true crime. Kelsey gets straight to the point and when she does tangent, it’s either relevant or super funny. She approaches cases with such deep research, empathy, and dash of dark humor where appropriate. Her vocabulary and quick wit are unmatched and you kind of feel like you’re sitting on the couch with a good friend. You can tell she truly cares about these cases and getting the stories out to listeners.
