  • Perfect balance

    The writing, narrating, fact checking without inflating drama in an already dramatic story... perfect.

    A lot of respect for Jack and Kent for their self reflection and accountability.

    My absolute favorite podcast. It’s real. Dark. But also there’s a charm and humor that Jack delivers to us. He conveys these stories in the best way, in my opinion. I would change a single thing about this podcast. It’s perfect. Love brutal w Kent as well.
