    I only found this show a few weeks ago. I LOVE listening to true crime but normally avoid American shows as so hard to relate to the extreme crimes compared to here. But this one has me hooked!

    Sure wish people would realize that demanding to “get here now” is idiotic and not helpful and stop screaming.

    It’s hard to learn how messed up some people are. We have... more

    This is the best pod for learning what to do and what not to do when calling 911. Some of it is hard to listen to if you are sensitive but it’s always good to be reminded to stay alert out there in the world
