  • Disappointed

    I’ve enjoyed this podcast since it launched, but lately Andrea Canning seems to be hosting fewer and fewer episodes. I completely understand that people take vacations and have lives outside of work, but the podcast is so closely associated with her that the constant rotation of substitute hosts has become frustrating. The most recent episode was difficult to listen to, and I couldn’t finish it. I miss the consistency that made me subscribe in the first place.

    I pay not to hear ads on any Dateline show. Why was the latest episode filled with ads?

    I’m paying for the subscription and my latest true crime weekly episode is full of commercials. The whole point of paying for the subscription was not to have commercials
