  • I cannot fathom how anyone can listen to this podcast! THE HOST CANT TALK! I'm not referring to her "accent" as people say she put "uh" after every word. I don't even notice that. It's the fact that every single sentence she has to "excuse me" or "sorry" and restart the sentence because she says something wrong. She is constantly asking Mike how to say certain words too. But seriously the Keddie Cabin Murders she said "excuse me" AT LEAST EVERY OTHER SENTENCE BECAUSE SHE CANT TALK.

  • Speech/High rising terminal

    It's pronounced "Ya vaughn"!!! Not E Von!!

    I generally love the subject matter that you all put out in the podcast.

    What makes me grind my teeth and makes me jump up and down is how you end each sentence with an emphasis.

    The speech pattern of adding emphasis—often with a rising pitch—to the last word of a sentence is called upspeak, uptalk, or High Rising Terminal (HRT).

  • Typical American

    The blokes answer to everything is that everyone should carry a gun with them. It’s such an American attitude and utterly bizarre.

    Thankfully they have added time stamps so can skip the “banter” at the start.

    Interesting stories however once they get into them. She could lose him all together though.
