  • Incredible

    Absolutely beautiful podcast. I am so moved. I will never forget this story. Amazing people. Amazing storytelling. Restored my faith in humanity in a time when the world feels so cold. Even though the story centers around a tragedy- the love, compassion and humanity here is just so humbling. There is still so much kindness in the world. Words can’t even. 🥲

  • Season 1 of Cold is the best true crime podcast I have ever listened to

    Journalist / podcast hosts like Dave Cawley are becoming increasingly rare. Not only is his voice and story telling as good as it gets, he is very careful about what is included in the stories and doesn’t try and lead the audience to a conclusion with a sensational, unverified claim. Cold is highly professionally produced and I am always thrilled to find a podcast that just tells the story. No annoying unnecessary chatter between hosts that isn’t related to the story whatsoever. This is how you ... more

  • A ridiculous amount of adds

    Five of the first ten minutes were commercials, which was enough to put me off for good.

    Wow. I’m not a hiker, I was actually hunting around for a true crime story and stumbled across this podcast. I’m so glad I did, I was so engaged and inspired. Thank you Marilyn for sharing your story. Such a respectful and inspiring podcast.

  • Crushing this podcast

    What really sets this podcast apart is its humanity. There’s so much empathy woven into every narrative. It doesn’t just tell stories, it honors them.

    Be warned though, once you start, it’s very hard to stop. This is the kind of podcast that turns “just one episode” into three hours later, sitting in your car in the driveway because you need to hear how it ends.

    Absolutely phenomenal. A true gem.
