  • Love these guys

    I started with Small Town Murder and resisted Crime In Sports for far too long. Now that I tried it, I am upset with myself that I waited so long. Evil Knievel multi series was fantastic

  • Love the guys, love all the shows, i give them my money every month... My only criticism is this: The lack of editing.

    The Randall Woodfield series was twice as long as the source material (Ann Rules audiobook), same goes for Evel Knievel... please, guys, do some editing.

    I listened to the other shows the guys have done, but stayed away from this one. That is until they covered Evel Knevil. Then I was hooked. The deep dives on the Scum of the Week keeps me coming back.
