  • “You know”

    I actually find most of the stories they cover interesting so I’m grateful for the podcast. I just can’t give higher than a 3 until she stops the constant repeating. She repeats herself over and over in the same 2 minutes! And the amount of “you know”. “You know”. You know” please! Make it stop! I want to enjoy the information but I’m getting close to finding another podcast. If you’re a public speaker, please edit those.

  • Had to Unsubscribe

    After watching Lauren’s unhinged 9hr live on YouTube a few months ago, I went down a rabbit hole and realized she’s basically a mean girl who was trying to use the law and law enforcement in a petty argument. Dr John needs to get her help. She’s lost all credibility in my eyes.

  • Disappointed

    I used to really like this podcast and started listening during the Daybell trials. There were some great episodes and interviews back then. I started losing interest when those trials wrapped, and was put off by their stances on some future trials they covered. The final straw came when there was the fake 9 hour stalker video. Since then, I have learned they trash talk other creators and victim family members behind their backs. I can’t support a channel like that in good conscience. There are ... more

  • Brilliant

    I'm blown away by the case presentation & thoughtful analysis.

    I just finished one of the episodes on the Reiner family murder.

    It was captivating! The depth and meaning added in portraying the complicated person and possible family dynamic humanized a really horrific & sensationalized event. It illustrates the importance of intimacy, connection and belonging & bolsters the fact that these are the foundations of feeling right about ourselves & the world.

    Really just beautiful! Thank you!
