- Fabuloso ads
You are the greatest. But, please remove the Fabuloso ads from your podcast. The chemicals in that product have been linked to various cancers and MS. The “joyful” scent that they refer to is toxic and causes headaches and nausea.

If you’re going to the effort of telling this story & presumably monetising from it, please also work on getting the German pronunciation a bit more on point, doesn’t need to be perfect but at least you shouldn’t need to be apologising about it.

I love this show. I love what Kate and Paul bring to the table. Kate is a fantastic journalist and story teller. Paul’s insight and education is fascinating. He is so well spoken and intelligent. I love that this not only a mystery but we actually learn something! They dig into the offender and maybe what’s going on in their heads as well as understanding victimology, and a little police and ME insight. It’s brilliant. It’s the best idea and so enjoy these two!

I will say there are a lot of ads, and though I don’t listen to new episodes to fall asleep to - I do go to the back catalogue when feeling tired. It can be quite jarring right as you’re drifting off to be wrenched away from the melody of the hosts voices.
