  • Authentic cop banter. Best podcast!!

    I absolutely love this podcast. You can immediately tell the hosts are retired cops and that’s what sets it apart from all other crime podcasts. There’s a layer of authenticity, they have experienced a lot of what happens in the stories or have an old buddy who has. The main highlight for me is way they talk, the banter, it’s so refreshing. I could listen all day. Even though it’s serious content the way they handle it is very cop like, never far from some banter to help lighten things. So glad ... more

  • Started of Amazing but Season 3 has jumped the shark.

    I was so excited when I found Crime Time Inc from the Small Town Dicks podcast. Simon and Tom while claiming not to be storytellers are engaging and have exceptional chemistry. The cases or topics they cover are presented in a soothing and wonderful way. I listened because they gave a different perspective and I enjoy listening to their accents.

    However, season 3 is, simply put, a disaster. The new American hosts who are bland and sound like AI are horrid. They spend more time giving weird pla... more
