I used to like this show as an intro to different cases but recently there is so little actual content and a greedy and insulting amount of advertising. These two lost my interest and are just really annoying now.
I love you but cay is pronounced like key or kee
I’ve been listening to this show for 2 years and it’s my favorite commute podcast. I loved your campfire stories and easy going style of storytelling. Keep up the amazing content!
Listened to the interesting Fahey story. What bothers me, no matter what, women in your true crime episodes can never do wrong. Women good, men bad. Lawyer was having multiple affairs, and was a murderer, he's a "POS," but you never call out the women who are also choosing to have an affair with a married man. You emphasize he was 17 years her senior as if that is so awful in itself. They're both adults. That age gap is irrelevant to the crime. It takes two to tango. You are so Portlandia woke.
I had to unfollow for several reasons. 1) Heath’s need to repeat EVERYTHING like we are a bunch of idiots. 2) the ads are ridiculous 3) spoiling the entire podcast by telling what happens in the first 3-5 minutes. It’s unfortunate because I liked the podcast, but I can’t handle it anymore.

A deep, narrative-driven true crime show that covers a wide range of disappearance and murder cases, often updating older cases with new forensic or investigative developments. The hosts maintain a conversational, often personal tone while weaving in archival details, media coverage, and public interest, producing thorough, theory-rich episodes. Notable strengths include strong on-air chemistry between the hosts and a tendency to connect case details to larger societal and survivor-focused themes, which can help listeners feel like they're following long-running investigations.
