  • Sound Quality Isn’t Always the Best

    I’ll start by saying I enjoy the show. It’s just that with the new host/format, the sound quality of some of the court testimony and police interviews is hard to hear or quiet and not at the same volume as the narrator.

  • Bad episode?

    The audio quality on Darlene’s episode was awful. I also don’t enjoy just hearing police interviews; it feels like I didn’t get enough of the story. Not sure if this was standard but I won’t be listening to more.
