    I’ve been looking for a new podcast and stumbled upon Crime Salad. As others have said, ads are a LOT! I don’t mind ads but this is excessive. The episode I listened to kept skipping. To be fair, I thought it might have been my CarPlay but playing it directly from my phone it did the same. I think I’ll pass on this one. For now anyway

  • Smooth story telling with very little downsides

    Having read a lot of the reviews on here of people complaining about ads and stupid comments of a host, I think people’s mentality needs to change.

    I have always loved true crime and the podcasts (all of them) help me through an extremely long commute each day.

    Podcasts need sponsorships/ads to be profitable, so unless people want to pay to have these removed and therefore support this podcast, then they cannot complain about it. I don’t like ads but I understand the concept of them.

  • Please research

    I enjoy the podcast, but it drives me crazy every time they mention Dr. Michael Baden. As they state, he is “one of the country’s most respected pathologists” so a quick search would show that his name is pronounced Bah-den, not Bay-den. I would think true crime podcasters would know this. I know they’re young, but Dr. Baden’s show Autopsy (the original forensics show) is still available to watch.
