  • Great show

    I listened to the show all the time. Tonight the host sounded very upset about something. I just want to say that I’m sorry for whatever happened. You’ll get through whatever it is. You do a great show! I never review. I just felt that need to say this.

  • Great discovery

    Love this genre and these true crime stories are well told with just enough detail to cover the facts without being overwhelming or confusing and includes lots of stories I’d never come across before.

  • At least one episode (Arsenic and Old Lace) seems to be narrated by AI. I skipped around and this episode is one of about three or four I played. It’s unlistenable. The other episodes where an actual human is reading are okay.
