  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Please edit out mouth noises!

    I tried to make this comment private to the show, but CBC makes this pretty much impossible. So a public review it is. The mouth noises on this podcast are out of control. Please, editors, edit them out. It sounds like Maurice from the Marshall Project was sucking on hard candies while talking and it is so distracting. The journalism is good; the mouth noises prevent me from listening more.

  • It’s just ad for other podcasts

    This podcast is nothing than just talk briefly about some story with some guest speaker but they never go into any depth

    it’s really lazy journalism that all the host does is probably listen to podcast at work while getting paid , and invite them to talk about it.

    compare to other serious podcast like the New Yorker , it’s a joke

    The host also is bad at interviewing. She seems like someone who has been in the job for too long and just waiting for retirement
