  • Too many ads

    I love the podcast and I enjoy the highlighting cases but man the ads!!! Like half of the podcast is now ads. I have listened to almost every one of the episodes and it’s overwhelming now to the point I don’t want to listen. Please find another way to make your earnings cause you’re losing listeners which hurts more than just a rating. These stories need to be told and shared but the ads need to get tapered back by about 50%.

It’s frustrating to hear repeated discussion about how society ignores missing Black women while their stories are also being heavily monetized for personal gain. These cases deserve thoughtful, respectful coverage, and the constan... more
