While he got close to catching him, it wasn’t until 2023 that authorities finally made an arrest. The troubling part is... the answers were there all along, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take authorities so long to catch him, a... more

  • Best LISK recap

    Phenomenal recap of the LISK case. Episodes are quick, but they will completely catch you up to everything you need to know about LISK(and everything LISK adjacent too!). Be sure to check out Josh’s channel on YouTube or Patreon (Sinister with Josh Zeman). He is bringing new interviews to talk about updates to the case. He is also releasing full interviews from his tv series The Killing Season.

    Would love for Josh to add some new episodes here once the trial starts!

  • Dubious

    All of the ads. So, so many ads. I Heart Radio has so many trashy shows, stripping down interesting true crime stories into bland commercialized corporate events. Add to that the host’s dubious reputation for accuracy and manufacturing sensationalism. I suppose it is up to you if this is what you want

  • Over 3 minutes of ads at start of episodes

    Large amount of advertisements. Many are gambling related. If the content was even half decent I would’ve subscribed, but it’s minimally adequate. Good for those times you’ve listened to the decent podcasts and need something to fill time.
