  • True Crime For The Modern Age

    First off, Jenn and Joe have great rapport and clearly do their research on the subjects they are discussing. But what truly separates this podcast from other true crime series is their empathetic approach to the material. They truly highlight, that these are real events that affected real victims. cannot recommend this enough for those looking for an insightful and respectful approach to true crime.
