  • Unlistenable

    I’d like to know the fine details of the Trenny Gibson disappearance. Unfortunately, I never will because the interviewee, Laura Riste, has such an unbelievably boring voice that it renders everything she says unlistenable. She’s like that bore who corners you at a party and three hours later you’re still desperately trying to get away.

    I just listened to this episode and got to wondering how many counties in this country is corrupt like this county, and Horry County in South Carolina??? How many crimes have been covered up in the past? Episode was excellent, I will have to add Dog with a Bone to my list of podcasts to listen to. It will put me that much farther behind in keeping up with all your episodes. But great interview.

  • Sigh

    It took at least 15 minutes before they actually went to the story. If you want true horror. Listen to seven. Whoo they are full on. I had to give up on listening to one story because it was the most disturbing thing ever.

682 // Serial Killer Rex Heuermann Sentenced to Die in Prison w/ Joshua Zeman
Q: What makes Rex Heuermann a uniquely dangerous serial killer in the hosts' view?
