Truly one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to.
First true crime I’ve listened to and I enjoyed the way the episodes were presented.
Started listening to season 4. It’s a one sided story from a 3rd party. Don’t believe you. Not credible. All hearsay.
Really love how this podcast is put together & the information the way they relay to listeners. I truly enjoyed first 3 seasons & the new direction of the 4th I just started. Love listening while I’m working. Keep up all the great work
…. But I found it hard to get a visual on the whole story because the hosts went out of order and included a lot of random tangents. Otherwise it was fascinating! You can tell that the journalists worked really hard on these stories and had a high level of journalistic integrity especially when dealing with sensitive information. Also appreciated the atmospheric effects. Definitely worth listening to especially the first and second seasons. I would love to hear any updates on those cases!
