  • Shaye Groves podcast

    Hi I was very keen to listen to your podcast but it seemed like most of the story was about him looking through her phone and her looking through his phone and blah blah.. it was probably a great story but was a bit spoiled by all the he said/ she said burble.

    I love your voice and the way you tell the story but maybe plough on and not so much toing and froing

    Sorry if I’ve been a little moany minnie and I do really like the podcast

  • Brilliant True Crime Podcast

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for sometime now and thought I’d already reviewed it! Naomi always makes the podcast sincere and is very mindful of all the victims in the cases she covers, so you leave the podcast remembering the victims NOT the perpetrator; it’s definitely one of my favourite true crime podcasts
