- Disappointed
Came back for Murdaugh coverage after reversal. So very disappointed y’all have not evolved at all. In fact, you seem more immature, more self-involved, and more hateful. In fact, it seems you refuse to accept the facts of this case and the problems with the trial that led to the reversal. This is not what I want to listen to.

If more podcast did what True Sunlight does- actually calling out the inappropriate and illegal behavior of powerful, wealthy men-the world would be a much better and softer place.
