Been a listener since the beginning
I have listened to every podcast, and my favorite one is Harvey milk, it brought tears to my eyes, Jeremy is so great to listen to.
Looking back now, it was crazy. I felt guilty for years because I was glad that it happened. There were no lack of suspects when this happened and I’m glad I was out of town and had an alibi. It was not about the money. It was about the shotgun being used as an eraser.
Voice is not my cup of tea unfortunately.
Jeremy has a fantastic voice and is a skilled narrator. The storytelling is great and I really appreciate the long format. The ad free version is a bargain
