- Amazing podcast
Hard listen but amazing interesting podcast
Apple Podcasts5Shaunagh x
United Kingdoma month ago - Boring
The first few seasons were fine. And then the journalists started centering themselves and their experiences. Who cares what you thought when you were 10? Who cares if you weren’t born when the crime took place? Report on the crime. Who cares what you and your producers feel when visiting a place?Your backstory as a reporter is irrelevant and boring. And it just stretches out stories that should be one episode.

United Statesa month ago - Series 11 Vampire Killer
The story is interesting but the droning noise in the background is unbelievably irritating so much so that I’ve skipped forward quite often to get past it and I’m not sure if I can bear to listen to any more episodes.

Australia2 months ago - Good but Repetitive and Drawn out
The presentation of the cases themselves is usually good and responsible, but listening to season 11 has felt arduous because it is so repetitive and drawn out. Four episodes might have sufficient to capture the village’s atmosphere in the early 2000s and then discuss the case itself. I wonder if they sold ads on the iTunes version (I’ve listened to most episodes on the BBC) and needed a certain number of ad spaces
Apple Podcasts3Raxo1983United Kingdom2 months ago - Too slow
Whilst I’ve enjoyed S11, it feels a bit ridiculous waiting a week for an episode that might not push the story that much further.
Either release the episodes more frequently or condense each episode so the story doesn’t drag out more than it needs to.
