  • Fantastic podcast!

    Blood trails is a complete, well researched, and produced podcast for anyone who likes podcasts. You do not need to be an avid hunter to enjoy. It is evident that the amount of time and effort put into each episode is equal to the older established true crime series, and Blood Trails will be shortly up at the top of the list with those others. Well done.
