  • Poor Research

    Listening to the episode about the murder of Katherine Foster and I am blown away by the piss poor/ lazy research done in this episode. It is rife with inaccurate information! (Seriously, did your researchers even try on this one?)

    Please, please check your sources on this information… you are doing a complete disservice to anyone listening by spreading false info.

  • Lazy

    I thought a podcast hosted by academics would be responsibly researched. 5 minutes into the first episode I tried, they got a basic fact wrong and mispronounced 2 words. So, I’m out. That is a basic part of your job and you were too lazy to bother.

    Painful to listen to. Hosts sound like robots and like they are reading from a script.

  • Wish it was weekly!

    Love hearing Megan and Amy’s take on these cases. I always learn something new on both this show and W&C. The only hard part is waiting 2 weeks between episodes.

  • Megan, shhhh

    Megan, its not unnecessary and annoying for listeners they you feel the need to say mhmm and ok every other sentence when Amy is presenting, it’s not a personal conversation between the two of you where you want to make it clear that you’re paying attention. It’s a podcast. You don’t need to be speaking or interjecting at all time, silence is OK.

    Also, so sarcastic clap for your views that the superstar victims of most of the crimes you cover (as said by Megan and agreed to by Amy in the 3/16/2... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sis Linn
Q: What are your thoughts on campus carry policies?
The hosts find it a complex issue—balancing personal autonomy and public safety. While some feel the need to protect themselves, the presence of firearms in classrooms can be alarming.
Betsy Aardsma Part 2 of 2
Q: How does David Dekok believe he found a killer?
He publicized strange behaviors of Rick Hafner, who had been seen near Betsy's murder scene and had a history of problematic behavior towards minors.
Ted Streleski
Q: What do you mean? So they said in order for him to be granted early release on parole, he would have to number one, agree to therapy?
He would not agree to those terms and ended up serving his full sentence of just seven years.
Ted Streleski
Q: Are you going to go for like an insanity defense here?
While Ted's defense attorney entered a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Ted denied that this was true and said he was completely sane.
Bayard Peakes
Q: What happened after Bayard received the cease and desist letter?
Instead of making him rethink his theories, it actually caused him to snap and plan a violent act against the American Physical Society.
