Glad I found this podcast! Creepy and full of twists. Box in the Basement delivers true crime with serious chills
The host is trying too hard and over enunciates but somehow doesn’t consistently pronounce the victim’s name correctly. I made it less than a minute in.
I LOVE the content and I think they tell the story well, however, it sounds like they are passing the mic back and forth causing a lot of background noise. I am listening to E57, I would think this would be a kink that had already been smoothed out.
Thank you for doing these little known cases that need attention! Highly recommended!
So much empathy and love has been put into the making of this podcast. I love the hosts and the story’s have been very well researched.
