  • I have a feeling

    Some of these negative reviews might be from other cops. 🤨 the rest of it just people knit-picking.

    For example , people complaining about you saying “quote” too much. That’s literally how quoting works. They’ll figure it out one day.

    I only came on here to leave a review to offset the bad. I usually watch on YouTube. Don’t change what is working.

  • Unlike any other podcast!

I cannot tell you how many times I listen to a case I’ve read/listened to numerous times, only to hear Derrick’s detective perspective and it has me thinking in a totally different way. His attention to detail is also phenomenal. Cannot get enough of this podcast and I lo... more
