  • So good! Well told and factual

    I love the way she talks about the cases, really factual and never glamourising it. Always sensitive to the victims and the way she speaks about some of the cases is how I would speak to my friends. Really good - well done. Love it x

  • Disappointed

    I used to absolutely love listening to this podcast. It was one of my favorites and I never missed a single episode. I loved Kelly’s empathetic and kind attitude. I was incredibly disappointed when she started to very openly support hateful politics. I tried to take a break from her during her rant about Charlie Kirk. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt… but upon returning with an open mind I’ve realized she’s actually just more emboldened to express her less than tolerant opinions. It... more

    Ever since you covered Charlie Kirk, I’ve been waiting to see if Renee Good or Alex Pretti would be uttered out of your conservative mouth… because all lives matter, right? And we know you love the second amendment. But crickets. Unsubscribed.

  • No escape

    I’ve listened to every episode of your show, am a new Patreon member and I’ve loved it! I think you’re a great story teller. Today you lost me. You chose to make this episode political in a world where we can’t escape the horrible political divide. You didn’t have to cover the Minnesota cases the way you did, that was a choice. I’ve never heard you cover any other news stories like the daycare fraud one, and there are multiple in many states for decades. So why cover these stories and intentiona... more
