I have been listening to this podcast since its inception, and initially really appreciated its coverage of lesser known crimes, as many podcasts will cover the same sensationalized cases. For a time, I was even a Patreon/paid subscriber. Unfortunately, over time, I've found that every single episode features some sort of misinformation; whether it be regarding the legal aspects of a case or about the victim. These are both CRITICAL when it comes to covering these sensitive matters. Additionally... more
I like your show but your pronunciation is like a nail on chalk a board --sorry
I’m not sure if this is what the podcaster sounds like in her personal life but HOLY COW. Why does every sentence sound like it’s a question? Why the vocal fry. JUST TALK NORMALLY and not through your nose? Please seek a voice coach. The cadence and pacing of your narration is also off. I cannot get past the way you speak to actually get to the content. Like it literally sounds like a parody of a valley girl. Not sure how this is an award winning podcast - it’s literally like nails on a chalkboa... more
he episodes are actually pretty interesting, at least from what I was able to read from transcripts, but the narrator? SERIOUSLY?
It’s absolutely awful.
It’s impossible to listen to her extremely nasally voice and the intonation only makes it worse.
And just to make it clear, it’s not about the person, she is probably a nice competent person, but as a podcast narrator? No thank, you.
What are you doing here? Are you using AI now? It’s TERRIBLE! Please stop whatever it is you are doing it’s getting worse and worse! I went back 2 years and listened to an episode, the difference is NIGHT AND DAY!
