  • Get to it

    Answer the questions, organize, get some flow, they never really get to the point. There is circling, side thought, rambling, a lot of stories about their careers and their experiences which seems more self congratulatory than actually adding to our understanding of forensics. I understand the host is credentialed, educated and experienced but his responses don’t clarify , he isn’t even answering the questions.

    The audio is excellent, their voices are well suited to public speaking/podcasting,... more

  • Hmmm

    It’s hard to listen to a podcast that completely ignored the evidence. They talk about the Idaho 4 case and that it’s silly to think a clean up happened because “there’s blood all over the place” — but the reports themselves state that the common area blood stains were all diluted with an unknown substance. Facts don’t lie, but apparently people do.

  • Stick to the autopsy

    The commentary on psychiatric medications is reckless. This “dangerous” drug that takes you to “dark places” is something that some people rely on for stability. You need to stay in your lane.
