  • So boring

    Psychics. Really? That cece chick is just a grifter at this point. Also they hardly ever get to the case just gloat about how great they are. Bad podcast

  • A bit weak

    Not up to the standard of other Pushkin true crime - vague, speculative and a lot of filler

  • Background Music

    It pains me to give this podcast two stars. However, the background music is not only unnecessary but really annoying; at times cloying and others manipulative. These narrators are too excellent for this gimmick and I think the production person who made this decision dropped the ball.

  • Great podcast!

    Season 4 is beautifully written and edited, I felt I was there with the journalist, not only I was able to feel present during the meetings, the interviews, the crawling through the canyon, but also every time she thought of a connection or a detail and how to pursue a hunch… Definitely a must listen!

  • Incredible!

    This is the best podcast I’ve listened to in a long time. I heard about it through Cautionary Tales, my second favorite podcast ever, after Revisionist History, and this is a super close third. Great work investigating, super great delivery and writing, and very relevant. Thank you for your work!!
