  • Thumbs up for choosing a different topic (or continent) to cover. It's interesting to hear about crime cases that have happened abroad/somewhere else than in the us. The host does an amazing and thoroughly researched job while covering these cases.

  • Can listen for hours !

    Honestly, this is a great podcast. Bella has a great way of story telling that keeps you engaged and on track where some other podcasts, you’ll find yourself backtracking to try absorb the content.

    The one and only critique I have is the pronunciation of some names and places are incorrect.

    Otherwise, keep going gal ! We need you

  • Content ok, delivery not

    The narrator’s pitch and tone is irritatingly off putting. I really tried to continue but the delivery makes light of the serious nature of the story, as though the narrator is bored with the story. I cannot continue.
