- Limit the ads and banter please
The content of the podcast fantastic and I want to listen more but i need to fast forward 8 minutes to get through the banter and get to the actual story. In addition, the amount of ads is insane. It’s almost unbearable to listen to.

It’s a great show but almost half being commercials being repeated throughout the show. Come on now if you have to have the ads put it at the beginning and the end.

Canadaa month ago - It’s truly unique
I love everything about it. But I do wince every time a historic true crime story features the 70’s or 80’s ouch😜
Apple Podcasts5President -McKinleyUnited Statesa month ago - Used to be my favorite…
This used to be my favorite podcast: I had to listen to it every week! But ever since all of the episodes are broken into 2 parts, I can’t comprehend the cases because I will forget things from the first part or whatever. Waiting a week in between to tell one short story is not practical, makes not sense. So I haven’t listened in several months. Miss the old form 🙁
Apple Podcasts1LindsaylashesUnited Statesa month ago - Please give mercy with the ads and small talk
I like this podcast so much but the ~lead in~ small talk feels so unnecessary and forced. I always skip it but don’t quite know where to skip to so I always just go 8 minutes in and end up missing the first part of the story but it is literally worth it to me to not have to listen to the small talk. Also the number of ads in this podcast is outrageous!!!! Like we won’t have gotten any new information and then boom another 5 minutes of the same ads again….it drives me completely nuts
