  • One of the best!

    I’m very picky about my true crime podcasts. They have to be interesting, the narrator voice has to be professional, and they have to meet my opinion of ethical standards. Jerri Williams exceeds all expectations. Every single episode is fantastic. She allows her guests to tell the story but gently guides the flow. Highly recommend this podcast.
