  • She's back!

    Bella's narration and research are top notch.

    Being a Canadian, I appreciate that she explains words/concepts that are specific to South Africa (such as, a "bucky" is a pickup truck).

    One thing I'm not liking are the bells and 'knock' sounds she's added...it only serves to make the pod seem less professional then it is.

    One last thing...Bella should invest in a better microphone, or it might actually be the environment she's recording in. Her voice sounds echo-ey and faraway.

  • No new episodes ☹️

    It's really too bad that Bella isn't creating new episodes, because I found her narration and research top notch.

    I'd happily welcome Bella back if she wants to continue creating where she left off!

  • 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.
