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!
Good evening Ladies. Did you cover this event at an earlier time… 🤔…….?
The show is good but Steph you have to stop swallowing and smacking your lips when speaking all the time, like do you accumulate that much spit between each sentence that your always swallowing something, idk it’s not soothing to the ears so I end up clicking off the podcast. It sad because I really wanted to like this podcast.
Absolutely the best show. I am a big true crime fan so this show is a favorite. Steph and M.D. give all the facts will including their opinion which I love! I'll forever be a listener.
This is a well-produced true-crime podcast that hooks you from the very first episode. Steph and MD are immersive and it’s thoughtfully paced, with strong research and a respectful tone that lets the facts speak for themselves. It maintains suspense without feeling sensationalized and leaves you thinking long after each episode ends. A must-listen for true-crime fans who appreciate smart, compelling storytelling.
