Excellent podcast. Dave’s narration is great as is all of his podcasts.
This was heartbreakingly good and made me cry a number of times.
Very in-depth and thorough. No stone left unturned! Loved your viewpoint at the end of season one.
Dave’s voice was made for podcasting. The way that he researches and finds details that not a single other investigator could find. The way that he puts it together keep you hooked through the entire story. He’s bringing to light cold cases and getting eyes and ears on cases that were overlooked. And again he has a fantastic storyteller and has such a great voice for podcasting.
Cold is one of my top 3 true crime podcasts. The host provides a thorough and unbiased overview of interesting cases, and his voice is nice to listen to.
