May I ask why am having commercials…? Thanks
As a true crime junkie, this pod has been in my weekly rotation for a while. I enjoy the stories and information provided and would offer one suggestion to the host(s): it may be helpful to practice pronunciation and read through your scripts before the show because sometimes there are unnatural pauses and the flow sounds as though the reader isn’t comfortable. Also, ‘similar’ does not have a u sound on the second syllable, ‘ask’ is not pronounced axe, and especially does not have an x in it
I’ve been listening a while and I love the growing and consistency . Think ur in your sweet spot 🫶🏾
I just listened to The house in crescentville. The storytelling is top notch!
I absolutely enjoy listening to this podcast while driving down the roads I travel. I also appreciate the fact that there is no foul language like other podcasts, it’s refreshing! Keep it up SistA 👍🏽🫡🌺

The show centers on true crime narratives within Black communities, with MD providing legal context and Steph detailing victims and case specifics. Episodes emphasize rigorous research, respectful storytelling, and uncovering lesser-known cases, often linking patterns across investigations and exploring the impact on families and communities. A notable strength is how the hosts blend legal analysis with empathetic narrative, creating a steady, information-rich listener experience that often includes updates on related cases and real-time developments. The format and focus likely appeal to listeners who want thorough, community-centered crime storytelling with thoughtful commentary rather than sensationalism.
