  • Ray Gricar case

    Girl, idk who you talked to but the locals around here strongly believe it’s tied to the Sandusky case. It’s believed he was meeting up with the Mother’s of the victims on the down low at antique malls and shops bc it wouldn’t be out of his character as he was an avid antique buyer. It’s believe after the 98 allegation was brought to his attention he felt he had more now to bring forth charges against Sandusky. However Penn State and Paterno were GODS and untouchable around here so by associat... more

  • Rushed & full of sponsorships

    I’ve been listening to Killer Instinct, and it has been disappointing lately. The episodes feel rushed, as if the host is trying to get through the case as quickly as possible instead of fully developing the story. A large portion of each episode is also taken up by ads, and they are often long enough to disrupt the flow. Overall, I wanted to enjoy this podcast, but the excessive ads and rushed storytelling make it difficult to stay engaged.

  • Edit please

    Girl, out of RESPECT for the victims and for the listeners, please edit your Maddie Clifton episode. You basically repeat same paragraphs TWICE many times, like you recorded in 10 min and launched. Putting ads on a episode so poorly done is just disrespectful and poor taste.

  • Slow it down

    This is an interesting podcast. However, she speaks way too fast. She hardly pauses at the end of the sentence. She needs to take more of a conversational tone. Overall, this is an interesting podcast.

  • Awesome story telling

    Savannah does an awesome job recounting the true crime stories. Her stories are suspenseful, concise and full of interesting details, which must have taken a lot of time to research. She is also very respectful and that makes her podcast very easy to listen to because she’s not trying to make you feel one way or another. I am not bothered by any grammar mistakes. She sounds like any normal speaking person and her pronunciation is clear and good. This is the first podcast I’ve listened to religi... more
