  • Enough interview recordings

    I love love love this podcast but please stop or reduce the amount of recordings (be it police interviews or phone calls) the quality is always poor and very difficult to understand.

  • Fix the audio

    This podcast has turned into 96% bad audio of 911 calls or interrogations. You struggle to hear what is being said and then get BLASTED by the host’s voice or ads. It’s made me stop listening to almost every episode in the last several weeks. This used to be a good show.

  • Terrible Ad Placement

    Listening to an episode and an ad is placed literally in the middle of a sentence. Totally breaks up the storyline. It’s all just haphazardly put together.
