Why is the network spending so much time grandstanding about privileged travelers facing consequences in another country? Despite your personal thoughts on how minor the violation or inflated the consequences may be of a given law, the fact is we live in a society where we’re all expected to face the consequences of our actions. Well, that’s what it should be. I suppose the fact that these families affected by the ammunition ban likely voted in support of a gentlemen who acts like he’s above the... more
Fantastic mini series, had my blood boiling, made me laugh and cry. I heard about this when it was happening but it was so great getting to hear the whole story. Great job man!
I am hooked and I am not that much to true crime podcasts and shows.
The sound effects are so loud, constant, and distracting starting at 8 min into ep. 1 and never relenting. I don’t know how anyone can listen to this. It’s awful!!!
Quality true crime podcast that should interest anyone who is a listener of the genre and is an outdoorsman. What truly separates this podcast from the rest of the genre, is not just the fact that each case revolves around outdoor interests, isn’t the fact that the research and production quality is A+, but rather the amount of respect and humanity the podcast gives to the victims. I’m not a true crime nut, but I would recommend this to anyone.
