  • Brooke G. unlistenable

    She reads like a six year old and adds the cringeworthy “insights” of a seven year old.

    Hard to believe a major network hires someone this unqualified.

  • Too many adds

    It's a good podcast and it would be great if the adds weren't excessive amount of advertising. You start off with 2:30 of adds, get about 5 minutes of podcast, when it's another 5 minutes of adds. It's a 30 minute podcast, and at least half advertisements.

  • Stop recommending Oprah Podcast

    I do like the cold case show, but the fact that it pumps a bonus “you might like” Oprah podcast into my feed once a week (not exaggerating) is enough to just write this podcast off.
