I have listened to this podcast since the beginning and stuck thru all the changes. Cyndi is so sweet but is not a podcaster. I just can’t listen to her read and stumble over these news stories anymore. Bring Jim back or someone else

I love Woody’s voice and believe he is likely a very good detective and crime solver. I can’t stand how he talks down to Cyndi who seems genuinely sweet. He acts like he’s joking and she takes it well but it’s just about every episode and is not “cute”. As interesting as I am in Justice for Bradley and AO, I may have to stop listening and certainly cannot recommend this show.
