Came for the Luigi episode, found their coverage laughably biased and willfully ignorant. Clearly neither the host nor her guest have ever personally suffered at the injustice of our horrific health care system or known anyone who lost their lives due to its failings. The tsk-tsking of two sheltered & privileged upper class white folk is unbearable. Will not be back.
I’ve listened to this podcast for years. Took some time away from true crime and came back, only to be disappointed (particularly with the intro) that it seems to have the same AI structure/wording literally everyone else is using…this is so distracting and disappointing, that instead of listening to this episode, I’m writing this review. Please use real writers :(
PLEASE stop with the noise during this podcast. It’s almost impossible to listen to anymore.
This is a great pod and very educational but white privilege and racism plays into these serial killers psyche and it’s rarely discussed and i feel thats on purpose. It also plays into why the killers are able to become of killer of multiple people for years “undetected”. Let’s be transparent about all the major factors.
The podcast has high potential if Candice can stick to the facts of her profession. Listeners don’t need the extra “yikes” “and let me be the first to say…” it comes across juvenile and unprofessional. This topic seems to have been touched on a few times by other listeners and I hope the team can take on board the listeners feedback to help the podcast grow. Ive also noticed there is a distinct lack of detail in quite a lot of cases when context takes the case further, this could be a great oppo... more
