  • Best in true crime podcasts

    Joseph Scot Morgan has one of the best true crime podcasts going. Great for my early morning first light drives to work. As a former biology student in college JSM’s detailed analysis hits the spot. I don’t know of a podcast that does such good analysis on crime scene investigation - you feel like you’re there. Great show JSM!

    It would be great if they stuck to the facts but they drift off into their opinions about random things and apologize for discussing the subject they’re discussing.

    CO is one of the best investigate journalists of our time. Bless her for not giving up on her friend. We all need friends like her.

    JSM seems a little sour/scared. I’m a CSI and rifle rounds definitely cause more damage than what was witnessed. We’re dealing with something else…
