  • Great podcast

    I like this podcast, but I do find Breanna sometimes repeats herself with different wording. In the latest episode she also referred to Phillip as “Paul” which led me to be confused. I had to go back and see if I missed anything. Other than that - it’s a good listen

  • Wonderful but not perfect

    I love👍🩷❤️ this podcast and me and my stepdad Nick like to watch it but he will correct on some of the grammar but not only that I don’t really like that most of the focus gets put on the suspect and not the victim otherwise this is a great podcast and I suggest you keep doing what your doing here love listening to your episodes and yeah bye!😄
