  • Wish I could give negative stars

    I wish Tony and his buddies would quit lying and laughing sarcastically. They literally have no respect for Abby & Libby.

  • Brilliant Commentary

    Tony is passionate. It is contagious. As much as it is crime news and commentary it is eloquent theatre and I love it.

  • Delphi A.K.A. Uneducated dribble

    This show is complete garbage and everyone on it sounds ignorant AF including the bumbling idiot Bob Motta. You are spreading lies! I feel stupider for having listened.

  • Waste of time

    Stacy Cole is embarrassingly uninformed. It’s mind-blowing that she is allowed to voice her opinion regarding topics that she has absolutely no clue about. Easily the worst “news” show I have ever listened to. Do not recommend.

  • A Rare Gem in the True Crime Genre

    If you’re tired of sensationalist storytelling, dramatic voiceovers, and biased narratives that plague so much of the true crime space, this podcast is a welcome departure.

    Intelligent, honest, and grounded, it offers a clear-eyed look at complex cases without falling into the trap of exploitation or theatrics. The hosts do their homework. Research is thorough, sources are clearly cited, and speculation is kept in check. You get the facts, the context, and the humanity- without the showboating.... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE: Nancy Guthrie — $1.2 Million Reward, Investigation Crossroads, No Suspect
Q: What do you think about offering a million-dollar reward at this stage of the case?
The guests discuss that a higher reward can motivate more tips but also risks drawing inappropriate or unreliable information; they consider whether the increase should come with safeguards or alternative incentives like protection or relocation, and they note the need to balance incentive with legitimate investigative workflow.
LIVE: Your Guthrie Questions Answered—What We Know and What We Don't
Q: Do you think Nancy Guthrie left her house alive?
The discussion leans toward believing she did not leave the house alive, based on evolving evidence such as blood, clues, and the timeline, though some family members held out hope.
LIVE: Your Guthrie Questions Answered—What We Know and What We Don't
Q: Is Nancy Guthrie still alive at four weeks with no ransom demand, no credible sighting, no contact? What does your gut tell you?
The hosts express doubt about her being alive given the lack of credible contact and ongoing mystery, while noting the evolving evidence and the absence of a clear ransom scenario.
Bob Motta on Kouri Richins — Why the Medical Examiner's Testimony Backfired
Q: Do the memes and online searches prove guilt or can they be contextualized?
Memes and searches can be contextualized within a broader narrative; without clear evidence of intent or direct causal linkage, they should not automatically be treated as definitive proof of guilt, though they can contribute to a circumstantial case if properly connected to motive and opportunity.
Bob Motta on Kouri Richins — Why the Medical Examiner's Testimony Backfired
Q: What is your take on the significance of the phone call to the medical examiner?
The phone call is not simply a curiosity; its timing and content are scrutinized to determine whether it reflects normal curiosity or an attempt to influence a medical interpretation, which can impact perceptions of intent and credibility.
