- Don’t waste your time with this one!
If you’re looking for a thoughtful and respectful true crime podcast, this isn’t it. The hosts show a complete disregard for the victims’ stories, offering poorly researched content that feels pieced together from questionable sources. There’s no depth, no care, and no insight — just a shallow retelling that feels more exploitative than informative. I wouldn’t waste my time listening.

Thanks for telling the stories that are difficult to hear, nevertheless important.
I was a little up off by the tone of the narrative but soon realized that the stories are well researched and true.
