  • My #1 Favorite True Crime Podcast!

    Tori Telfer is delightful and has an engaging way of telling true crime stories. It feels like she’s telling ghost stories by a campfire, but at the same time, her research is solid and she shows empathy and offers thoughtful perspectives on complicated events. My only recommendation is to make more episodes. Daily episodes is ideal, but I understand if that’s asking too much. ;-) Still—I need more. But seriously, thank you for all of the work that you put into these.
