  • Halloween episode

    I had my volume turned all the way up, yet the sound was still so low that I couldn’t listen to the episode. I usually enjoy this podcast and was looking forward to the new episode.

  • Simply The Best

    The chemistry between Laura and Sarah is interesting and good fun, and I love the way they always collect the most fascinating details, back stories, connections, etc. The podcast is so well-rounded and satisfying, but I wish it were a weekly event: waiting for the next episode is hard!

  • I kept trying, but it’s so boring

    I’ve tried to stick with this podcast, but it’s so poorly researched, so boring and lacks talent in narrating these stories. It’s more like these gals love to talk to each other and forget they are making a podcast. So many other true crime podcasts available, I’d skip this one.

  • A Phenomenal Podcast!

    An intellectual and serious approach to true crime storytelling. Laura and Sarah provide critical insight and keen analysis of criminal perpetrators (sans sensationalism or sardonicism) and extend compassion and deference to victims. One of the absolute best in the true crime podcast genre.

  • Biased From The Start

    This review is based on the Christa Worthington episode, a case that I have followed for a long time.

    Explaining the story, background, and history of the case was great. The problem began with the lawyer’s insistence with talking over the private investigator. The PI had some good points, but the lawyer refused to see that or let her finish before interrupting again and again because she disagreed and couldn’t see her partners point of view.
