  • Great

    Love the show! I listen almost every night to new and old shows to go to sleep at night. Very interesting and informative. The seizure episode had a lot of good information. My son has epilepsy and I agree seizures are awful to see.

    I like the concept of this pod but these two lack knowledge and compassion towards people

  • Pretty good

    I’d like to give this podcast more stars, but the hosts sound very old and southern. By that, I mean they will talk about their religious beliefs but then turn around and say something borderline bigoted. I find myself rolling my eyes and thinking, “Come on, guys….” They both seem educated but ignorant, if you get my drift.

    As someone who is a death investigator where you started out, I just have to say how great and informational this podcast is for people in the field AND outside the field. The way things are explained in detail, the hows and the whys of each step within death investigation, and the inserts of humor keep me coming back for more.
