    I would rate this podcast with 5 stars if Robert would stop rudely interrupting and talking over Amanda. I would love her to finish her thought and opinions for once.

  • Too long to wait

    Why so long between episodes.. especially when it’s a continuation of a story. Very frustrating to constantly have to check if the next episode is out.

  • Fascinating

    Interesting take on the true crime genre, with a criminologist who can talk about body language in video interviews as well as what is good - as well as what is bad - in some interrogations. Some of the early-to-middle episodes deal a bit too much in conspiracy theories, especially the multi-episode arc on the assassination of JFK. But overall, a very fascinating show.

  • Up and down

    I have been listening to monsters who murder for a few years now.. off and on depending on episode frequency and also my willingness to persevere through the constant pushing of subscriptions and toleration of the “Rob McKnight Show.” I love Amanda, really value her insight, educated opinion and perspective on each episode, you can feel just how passionate and dedicated she is to finding out more about each killer and crime she chooses to take on. Wish the episodes were longer and more in depth ... more
