  • Interesting topics & Smart host

    I love the content and the research that goes into this show. I really wish Nicole wouldnt do that thing with her recorded voice. She sounds like she is trying SO hard to enunciate each and every word.

    However, when she does interviews her voice is normal. And beautiful! She doesn’t need to play it up and have a “reporter voice”. Its almost a turn off and kinda makes me want to atop listening. But its interesting topics. So I’ll stay and hope she reads this. Lol

  • Out of my comfort zone

    I’ve always been more of a murder/violence/gore kind of true crime listener. I’m bad at math and have never taken an economics class, but Nicole tells these stories in such a gripping and compelling way - I’m hooked! It’s so informative, I kind of wish it were an educational requirement to listen. Highly recommend.

  • It’s just okay for a crime podcast.

    The material in this podcast is nothing new. Everything that you’ll hear is available in about 1000 other podcasts or TV shows. My issue with this podcast is the number of ads you have to fast forward through. And she also has to hawk her audiobook every single episode. I understand that I could pay to not listen to ads, but since I can get this same information on so many other podcast or TV shows why would I bother paying? So it’s an OK podcast maybe it fills in a few details that other ones l... more

  • SCAM!

    I can only assume they don’t have much faith in the quality of their shows, because I did a 7-day trial to try them out, and when I forgot to cancel they charged me for a whole year, even though there are weekly options. That is so low. I tried to cancel immediately and have heard nothing. Let me cancel my subscription! Give me my money back! We are TIRED of being scammed! The one week sub I would’ve understood and just cancelled, this is so cheap.
