  • 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!

  • Ambulance chasers lacking any real empathy

    Two twits lacking self awareness and banking on peoples suffering. Some of the comments these two make are so out of touch and disrespectful, especially to the victims and their families. Disgraceful.

  • Informative but slightly snoozworthy

    I enjoy this podcasts for the up to date reporting on true crime events that are current and breaking. I do enjoy Dr. John’s profession opinions, however, at times they tend to drag on and become a little monotonous. I feel like if they were a little more concise, it would much more efficient and still informative.
