  • Might Be For You If…

    Alright, at first I loved these guys. Even though it’s pretty amateur and some of their “facts” aren’t facts, they have the gist of the story. They read off a script and that’s totally fine, but it’s a little dry. Now for the real reason I give this a 1 star…

    This podcast might be for you if you say that you are for loving everyone and acceptance for all, but you really have a lot of hate in your heart. They preach how everyone should just be able to live their lives and be able to be themselves... more

  • Very amateur podcast

    This is a very amateur podcast. The narrator sits and reads off of a piece of paper, almost as if they’re giving a book report. It’s not very engaging and it’s very difficult to listen to. I feel they have the right idea as someone being from the Pacific Northwest I find the case is very interesting but the delivery is subpar.

  • Very biased

    Listened to the Shane Barton episode and found it very biased towards the daughters and against his wife. The answers from Rachel read by the podcaster were with a rude, abrupt inflection obviously trying to make the listener dislike her. Poor journalism
