  • On a leash

    The lovely Delia seemed constrained on season 8.. like she was edited down to the bare minimum. Not her usual “unleashing” of a story and all related possibilities

  • Disappointed

    I’ve listened to every season of CounterClock so far. Some seasons are amazing (loved the Pelley Family series) and some are lackluster. Unfortunately for me season 8 was lackluster. It’s a fascinating case but there’s just not much to go on. I kept waiting for there to be some kind of breakthrough but nothing. I will continue to listen and support the show…just disappointed in this season.

    Host talks and speculates way too much, and many of the speculations have giant logic leaps. The constant floating of weak theories feels mostly like it's for stretching episodes out more than anything else. The cases covered are themselves interesting, but they are wasted on this host's style and obvious lack of journalistic experience.

  • Hooked

    Undoubtedly the best investigative podcast I’ve listened to. D digs deep and deeper into the case, uncovers new evidence, and makes new and worthy connections that challenge the competency of police investigations and question the validity of verdicts.

  • Not my style

    The format and reporting seem so flat. After a while, I can’t even hear it anymore, when I realize I’m not paying attention, I start listening again and it’s so blah and I’m bored.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: Is there ongoing consideration of re-examining Rhoda's church connections as part of the investigation?
There is continued interest in exploring Rhoda's church associations; the hosts describe reviewing past church-linked leads and acknowledge that information in that area has been inconclusive but worth revisiting with fresh eyes.
Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: Could the Lane Bryant case involve DNA or voice analysis linking suspects to evidence?
Yes, genetic testing and voice analysis were discussed as potential avenues; authorities have access to DNA and voice samples, but practical challenges such as sample quality and consent from involved individuals complicate progress.
Season 8: Bonus Q&A
Q: What was the survivor hearing or experiencing during the 40 minutes inside the store?
The survivor's perspective is crucial; the interview aimed to understand what she heard or saw, and whether her memories could clarify if the incident was robbery-focused or a possible hit, though access to complete audio has been restricted by authorities.
ANNOUNCING: Dark Valley
Q: If you ever found out who did this to you, would you want to talk to them?
Absolutely, to ask countless questions about their motivations and actions.
ANNOUNCING: Dark Valley
Q: What's your mission with this?
