  • Love it!

    I’ve listened to several true crime podcasts, and what makes this one unique is that the hosts are former news producers— this provides a really interesting lens as they go through the cases and discuss the role the media played in the investigations. There’s a great balance between telling the facts of the cases and their own commentary, and I’m excited to hear more!
