    Love your podcast and the stories you tell. However, I look forward to the day you’re able to upgrade your audio equipment as it seems like every episode has different audio quality which distracts me from listening.

  • Episode Full of Misinformation

    Personal connection and feelings aside, your “episode” about Christie Holt and her vicious murder is full of flat-out incorrect information and you failed to mention very important aspects of her life and of her case that others were able to share.

Perhaps use multiple sources or make sure to... more

    I just started listening a few weeks ago and while I have been enjoying it, I feel like you guys tell the story so fast that I miss details or you don’t include them. I like to get the whole backstory and sometime it feels like we’re missing something

    Unfortunately I’m unfollowing. You literally copy and paste other black true crime podcast episodes as your own. U listen to them a week prior and cover the very same case the following week. Unoriginal do better. E.g SWK recorded an episode about U’Dreka on 2/7 here it is 3/6 and you all post her story as well!
