- A great listen.
Love this podcast, have been listening a while. Although true crime content, it covers the whys & wheres & is presented intelligently & thoughtfully. There have been more chats with fiction writers of late, which have been really enjoyable. Loved the chat with Lee Child & his slant on the world of writing, came across as a very unpretentious man.

Heard Roberts episode with Naomi on Real and am so glad I came across this podcast. Just listened to the Penelope Jackson episodes, brilliantly told. Thanks. A new listener!
Apple Podcasts5Xxna03xxUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Very good indeed!
This podcast is interesting and treats its subject matter with a sensitivity that is rare in true crime. It’s not flashy. The interest comes from the cases themselves and the interviews with the people involved. The episodes with crime writers are a nice treat.
