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!
