- Inside the actors studio but for crime reporters
I love that over time, I’ve really gotten the sense that the host is both an absolute sucker for a wild story (who among us?) AND a thoughtful person with a deep, nerdy, appreciation for the crafts of crime reporting and storytelling. Her conversations with people who share the latter traits are the best, and I really enjoy listening. Thanks for being such a great interviewer!

United States2 months ago - Disgusted with the coverage of the Kenneth Lee case
Spent most the episode downplaying the actions of the murderers, bordering on making excuses for them. Did not dig into the failure of justice that was their sweetheart deals - no prison time in the sentence.

Canada2 months ago - Journalism ?
I follow the Canadian True Crime podcast, which featured this podcast so I listened to the William Woods episode. It’s basically one “journalist” interviewing another “journalist”. It is terribly disjointed. The episode is hard to listen to. The interviewee admits they have not read the interrogation transcript, yet wrote an in-depth feature article about the crime. More importantly, they glaze over the fact that the victim clearly has serious mental health concerns by saying he’s just a conspir... more
Apple Podcasts2Not in c-at-lCanada2 months ago - If you're going to mention a city, learn how to correctly pronounce it!
I tried to listen to the NXIVM story but was so disgusted that none of the speakers made an effort to learn how to pronounce Albany (upstate NY). That's just stupid and lame.
Apple Podcasts2KC IdahoUnited States3 months ago - Disrespectful?
I like CBC. I loved their show covering NXVIM. I listened to 2 episodes of this show, and I feel weird listening: so much giggling about topics that concern death. Something doesn’t seem right.
