  • Fabulous!

    Just found you! Of course I listened to New Jersey Pine Barrens first . You did such a good job researching! I really enjoyed it. I lived in that area my whole life. I will be catching up on all your episodes. This sounds like a fun Podcast. A nice change from the usual True Crime. 😉

  • I use the barometer of "do you think the West Memphis three are innocent?" to judge someone's intelligence. They got the right guys. The one confessed. Repeatedly. They took an Alford plea. Admitting the state had enough evidence to convict them. If you didn't do something then you'd know for a fact there was no evidence that could convict you. CAUSE YOU DIDNT DO IT!. Not these guys. They knew what they did so they knew there was evidence against them.

    One of the most wholesome, informative and laid back podcasts about my favorite subject matter I have encountered. It’s a joy to listen to them week to week and leaves me looking forward each Thursday to see which topic they will cover. Highly recommend, always a good laugh and it’s fun to hear a genuine couple sharing their passion with fellow enthusiasts.
