  • So Many Ads

    I love listening to the podcast, but there are so many ads that I want to throw my phone. Make a patreon or something so I don't have to listen to the Factor ads.

  • Amazing

    Normally true crime podcasts are done by just informing people about a crime from online information.

    Not this team.

    They go in depth right at the coal face and aim to solve the unsolvable. And not only that, they know how to stitch it all together and tell a great story. Well done.

    Hi all, fantastic work, I’m listening to this after the fact in 2025. Is it just me or if you listen to them Sidebar episodes in order they do not match up with the previous episode? I just listened to the Russian Roulette episode and the next sidebar talks about the episode the following week, Morticians Powder. I do love the sidebar format great to hear what you were thinking as you put this together. Keep up the great work.
