  • Maxim Furek you are fake…yikes!

    Your regurgitation of every bad book and movie on the demonic is a joke. OMG you dislike the Warrens yet everything out of your mouth is verbatim from all of their work. There IS NOT an exorcist at every parish. Any priest can come by and bless your home. That is vastly different than calling in an exorcist. One cannot just splash themselves with holy water and a crucifix and be protected. I get tired of “experts” who make mockery of my Catholic faith.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

642 // To Be A Model Detective w/ Michele Wood
Q: What went into the decision to write the book?
She explains keeping notes from cases, how life experiences and an incident from childhood shaped her career, and the process of turning those experiences into nonfiction.
642 // To Be A Model Detective w/ Michele Wood
Q: Can you introduce yourself to the audience?
Michele Wood discusses her background, 25 years with Chicago Police Department, focus on homicide, and why she wrote Model Detective.
641 // The Dogs Of War w/ Aphrodite Jones
Q: Can you summarize what happened in the Diane Whipple case and why the dogs were central to the crime?
The case centers on two Presa Canarios whose aggressive behavior and breeding were orchestrated by the Aryan Brotherhood to create a weaponized asset for protection and intimidation, culminating in the violent killing of Diane Whipple and the legal reckoning that followed.
640 // A Killer's Blueprint w/ Heather Mroczenski
Q: Why blindfold the reader in the book, and how does that affect the narrative?
To prevent readers from relying on notoriety or preconceived fame of the killers, enabling a focus on childhoods, psychology, and root causes rather than public perception.
640 // A Killer's Blueprint w/ Heather Mroczenski
Q: What patterns emerged from Heather's research on childhoods of serial killers?
A prevalent need for control, a strong influence of traumatic abuse, and, in many cases, a breakdown in attachment and healthy development that set up the path to violent behavior.
