Ridiculous amount of ads, I literally forget what I’m listening to because there’s more ads then story.
I listen to a handful of true crime podcast and this one’s my favorite. I love how they tell the story and I love their personalities. I have no complaints. I always recommend this podcast.
I’ve loved Going West True Crime for a while now — your intro/theme song and the overall vibe you set for sharing stories and honoring victims are truly top-notch. I really appreciate the care and detail you both put into each case. My only concern recently is that there seems to be quite a bit more unnecessary cussing than before. It sometimes takes away from the impact of your storytelling.
One of my fave true crime podcasts! Daphne & Heath are a class-act. They are very thoughtful, empathetic & are always on-point with the facts. But, they also acknowledge the injustices & horrifying acts when appropriate. Love them!
I’ve been an avid listener of Going West since I discovered them several years back. Over the years I’ve come to realize that they are my favorite podcast for the True Crime Genre.
