  • Noguera is great, Matt the interviewer is a creep.

    worth the listen because Noguera is dropping so much education. But Matt comes off as an annoying creepy idiotic sociopath.

  • Fascinating!

    I discovered this podcast after listening to some of Ken Main’s episodes with Bill. I appreciate Bill’s incredible insights and inspiring story of redemption. I’d recommend everyone check out this podcast, as there’s always something that can be learnt.

    Thanks for all of the hard work you both put into the podcast. I look forward to continuing to tune in.

  • If your into the deep details of serial killers, then search no more

    Will has some interesting theories and lots of detailed information on every subject. Every episode is kinda like a school class, that’s how Will narrates each episode, his enthusiasm alone keeps you interested, he has a very amazing radio personality. As for Matt, I don’t really care much for, his radio personality is horrible. And his enthusiasm almost sounds like he’s not even interested. Some episodes, you can even tell he’s not listening to Will, cause he repeats his questions.
