Excellent podcast; love Ashleigh, her expertise, & delivery… always very interesting & informative!
I really love Ashleigh’s insight.
The Podcast is very good, I just miss Banfiel on TV~ I loved seeing her!
Thought this was a great show, however I’m a bit disappointed in the lack of diversity within the coverage of cases 🤨 the Idaho murders happened 4 years ago (very sad) and we hear about that every episode, yet…there has been NO episode for Nolan Wells or Karmelo Anthony for that matter 🤔
I just love these podcasts. Ashleigh is engaging and gets right to the source of the issue by both her reporting and her featured guests. Straight and to the point!! Highly recommend you at least listen to one!!
