  • Washout

    Once upon a time, this show was my favorite because there wasn’t a bunch of unnecessary banter and random opinions thrown in. However, now Ashley is using it to throw in her political views and judgement. I’m disappointed that I paid for the year up front because I no longer enjoy the show and the way they present the stories.

  • Stay out of politics

    Long time listener, but I’m unsubscribing after the Indiana Dunes Episode. Your political tangents are completely unnecessary.

  • Too political

    Used to be my favorite true crime podcast. It’s not anymore. Way too political. No one cares about your liberal views Ashley. Just talk about crime. That’s what we want. PS: a mother is a woman. Nothing else.

  • From best to worst

    I used to love this podcast. I’ve listened since 2018. After starting this last episode, I’ve come to realize I’m not a fan anymore and will not listen again. When I came to the reviews to leave my comment, I see I’m not the only one. And I just listened to Ashley say she’ll quit if all the comments are about Mother’s Day and Birthing Persons. Well, here we are.
