  • Ditch the Experts

    Love the show, the recent episodes have new segment where they interview experts. I don’t care about them, they are really boring. Just tell the stories and theories please.

  • Informative & spreading awareness

    If you’re the type of person who wants a well thought out episode with little side-banter, this is the podcast for you. I appreciate that all of the unsolved cases are free & available for everyone to listen to, with the goal of spreading awareness. It shows that the hosts truly care about the cause and aren’t just using the stories as a paycheck.

    Also, as a professional misandrist Scott seems like such a lovely & safe man. Protect him at all cost, Leah!
