  • Editing is frustrating

    This is an interesting, comprehensive show but the editing makes it hard to listen to. You have to listen through 5 minutes of "Mongolian cashmere" and "online therapy" ads before anything gets started. The show is interrupted not just in the middle of sentences but in the middle of words! And then long pauses where you think you've turned it off by mistake. There are long long police interviews, 911 calls, and body cam arrest audio that could shorten the episodes in a beneficial way. Careless m... more

  • Obsessed with this podcast but don’t care for the CPS hate

    Really love this podcast and will continue to listen! I can tell a lot of time and heart goes into these episodes which I love!! But I can’t help but notice there is almost always some type of CPS hate. As someone that works in that field, I hate the constant negativity towards it. I agree there are some cases that get missed or overlooked but there are situations I feel that are humanly impossible to catch during an investigation. I don’t believe Department should have all of the blame and that... more

  • A stand-out podcast in the genre

    Well-researched and lengthy episodes, and an exceptional variety of cases covered (I was pleasantly surprised - shocked! - to discover cases that I hadn’t even heard of). I discovered the pod while searching for coverage of the Andrea Yates case, and immediately subscribed. The balanced inclusion of media clips and immersive sound effects make it stand-out. A great addition to any true-crime aficionado’s podcast playlist.
