    “Not to contribute everything to Dayton’s childhood” - not to attribute everything to Dayton’s childhood

    “Bleeding Profusively” - bleeding profusely

    “I can truly fathom with Denise.”

  • Listen! You won’t regret it.

    Susie does an incredible job of researching all the details, and making you sit on the edge of your seat in anticipation for the stories. Her podcast makes feels like you are sitting with a friend and the audio is excellent (which is something that bothers me with a lot of podcasts). Highly recommend!

  • Best true crime podcast out there

    I’ve been listening to true crime podcast since 2018. I stumbled upon this podcast when a friend shared a story on instagram. Susie’s story telling ability is amazing for a first time podcaster. I’m excited to see what comes next from her.
