    The hosts talk over each other, stumble over their words, and mispronounce words repeatedly. Listen to about 3 minutes of the Jennifer Jesse episode and it was downright painful. Don’t waste your time. Plenty of other quality podcasts.

  • Great Podcast!

    First of all, AJ has a GREAT voice and I believe is the anchor of the show. Love the family aspect the three of you bring to it. I give this podcast 5 stars. That being said, Lisa needs to slow down some…she talks too fast and she continually talks over AJ in the latest episode of The Springfield Three. It makes listening unenjoyable. There is no race to win slow down, Lisa, and allow others to speak and then interject. One other thing, ref TS3, some of the most basic known facts about the case,... more

    AJ saying coincidence constantly was annoying. Most detectives don’t believe in coincidence. So listening to all the clues in the case getting called this lost me.

  • Really bad

    I’m a casual true crime fan. I am better informed about some of the cases than the crime family. And logic is in short supply here.
