  • 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.

    If it's not already obvious Do Not Recommend!

  • 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.

Nancy Guthrie, Sheriff Nanos Crisis & Duggar: Coffindaffer's Complete Analysis
Q: What do you think was in those notes that caused the reaction that the family had to them?
The notes appeared to be personal, referencing forgiveness and accountability, which made the family react emotionally and suggested a strategy aimed at prompting action and responses from those involved.
Robin Dreeke on Kouri Richins: The Behavioral Blueprint of a Convicted Killer's Narrative Control
Q: Does closure actually exist for families after a verdict like this, or is it a constructed notion we tell ourselves to feel better?
Closure is subjective and varies by family; it can be a form of movement through pain rather than a final resolution, especially as families navigate how to explain the tragedy to their children and reclaim some sense of normalcy.
Nancy Guthrie: Coffindaffer Breaks Down Savannah's New Revelations
Q: What was your takeaway after Savannah Guthrie's interview?
The takeaway was that the interview highlighted real details that could influence the investigation, including the two ransom notes and the emotional tone used, which may reflect the suspects' psychology and potential motives beyond money.
LIVE: Eric Faddis on the Richins Trial — The Drug Theory, the Deals, and the Paper Trail
Q: Eric, let's make sure everyone understands what an immunity deal actually means.
Immunity deals can affect credibility; witnesses may be motivated to tell a version of events that benefits them, and jurors may view these deals with skepticism, weighing corroboration against the immunity in place.
Kouri Richins: The First Trap — Love Bombing, Targeting & Why the Strongest People Fall Hardest
Q: What makes it so difficult to differentiate between love bombing with an agenda and love bombing that is genuinely caring and nurturing?
The line is blurred because empathetic people project themselves onto others and assume reciprocation is genuine; history, patterns of manipulation, and a consistent lack of transparency are key red flags that distinguish genuine care from an agenda.
