  • Great show

    I just came across this show while looking for something new to listen to and I really like it. They don’t have a ton of back and forth they tell the story and I really appreciate it. I can’t stop listening

  • Good filler

    I really like how the two hosts leave out too much side banter and comedy. I think this podcast has a lot of potential as they choose great cases to cover. My only issues with this podcast is it lacks substance. The episodes are short because of the length of the ads. But the information we do get is very condensed. Also, the transition between the story and ads is very abrupt. Overall, this is a good filler podcast and had potential to be really good.

  • Wow really?

    I had to edit my 5 star review I originally left months ago after listening to the latest episode about Jennifer (RIP).. it’s very insensitive and disrespectful to refer to Jennifer’s torture, humiliation and murder “cringey”…. really?

  • Love Your Purposeful Program

    I love how genuine, down-to-earth, purposeful, compassionate, and kind you are; and how it comes across when Ashley narrates the cases. I also love our supportive, thoughtful, caring King, Ricky. You guys have made a great choice having Ashley the front-end work so Ricky can support (while working). The show flows so much better. I’m really rooting for you guys😍. I will binge until I catch up. You’re my favorite podcast rn.
