United Statesa month agoLove the historical cases. Well presented both in terms of historical research as well as forensics. I really appreciate the catharsis of solved cases, but I enjoy even the unsolved cases that are presented here.
Podcast Addict5a month agoKafkaesque- Love the stories, could do without chatter
There is some banter/chitchat in the beginning and it’s hard to know how far to skip so you don’t miss the beginning of the story. Stories themselves are well told!
Apple Podcasts3Glitzbglimmer88United Statesa month ago - It could be a good show but…
I love listening to Paul Holes but Kate goes off on too many tangents and adds too many anecdotes which makes me lose interest.
I really wanted to like this show but her constant comments and long drawn out stories are painfully annoying… they are unnecessary and add absolutely nothing of value.
I wish she would stop adding so much verbal filler and just focus on the topic.
