  • Too dark.

    I find myself skipping episodes for the first time, because so many of the topics are dark and miserable. I just can’t take all the murders and massacres anymore. Between that and the tedious heist stories, the show is becoming unlistenable. When this is the kind of story your patrons are voting for, you’ve attracted a bad crowd.

  • Disaster

    Love this podcast. However in the Mt Everest episode, the guestl repeatedly interrupted Jess, taking the conversation way afield. It made the episode too long.

  • Excellent for a High School Report

    Been listening since I was in high school and now I’m teaching High School and can confirm I would be more than happy if a student submitted any of these reports sans tangents of course, but that’s what has made it something I’ve been able to listen to for so many years!
