  • Eh - just reading off a sheet

    I listened to the first couple podcasts and it seems like another person glorifying murderers and just reading off a sheet of the facts. Not a lot of information on the victims or empathy for them.

    Slow stilted voice.

  • Consent

    Podcast wasn’t bad until there was 5 episodes in a row about consent. Lost all respect for the show.
