  • Poor audio quality

    You would think after a few seasons this podcast would learn how to mix audio, but nope. Do you even know Naomi is apparently a radio and TV producer, apparently post production quality is not a concern. You have to crank the audio up so high on this podcast to hear it that when you get a notification, you better pray for your eardrums. Naomi, I have two words for you: compression filter. It's going to change your podcasting life.

  • Best true crime podcast EVER!

    This is my favorite podcast of all time, so far I have listened to 50 episodes and all the deep dive episodes! Every case is so well researched and so informative of the individual case and delivered so sensitively. I find Naomi’s accent so calming to listen to. Keep up the amazing work.
