  • Ads during a survivors story

    It could be a good series if they didn’t interrupt the survivors story with random loud ads that pop up at insanely inappropriate times. Imagine telling how you survived an attack or a SA and all the sudden 5 min of ads pop up unannounced. The least you can do is edit the ads to be at breaks in the story

  • New Format is Bad

    Go back to the old format. The serial killer format isn’t good. It seems like you spliced in a bunch of audio from documentaries. The one on one format with 3 unexpected personal stories was much more immersive.

  • No New Material

    A lot of repeats. Also why am I paying for the subscriber edition if I still have to listen to ad reads?? That’s the whole reason I paid for a membership.
