I love this podcast,listening from the first episode such good stories and Naomi is a very genuine and honest and easy to listen to.She puts her heart into every episode.

The way she articulates the details is clear, thoughtful, and easy to follow, even when covering complex or sensitive topics. This is true crime done respectfully and intelligently a really compelling listen. I always look forward to new releases 🩷
