  • Unfollowed. Unethical and exploitative.

    The Clancy trial was the final nail in the coffin. I can no longer support a show that treats ongoing, active investigations as content fodder. The rush to capitalise on trending, unresolved tragedies to get downloads feels highly unethical. True crime requires a high degree of responsibility, but this podcast chooses sensationalism and speed over factual clarity and empathy for the families involved. S&H are so out of touch that is has become uncomfortable and cringey to listen to them honestly... more

  • Unhealthy Bias towards men

    While the research into the individual cases is thorough, the commentary frequently leans into an exhausting and unhealthy bias against men as a whole. Instead of focusing objectively on the unique psychology and actions of the criminals, the hosts too often rely on broad generalizations and sweeping critiques about masculinity. True crime requires exploring difficult sociological factors, but the tone here frequently crosses the line from structural critique into genuine cynicism toward an enti... more

  • Real life death shouldn’t be entertainment

    I really wanted to like this but these ladies laugh too much about the death of real people. They also seem to gleefully describe the dismembering of a child. Their tone needs to change.

Introducing Serial Killers & Murderous Minds: Liz Golyar: Obsession, Stalking, and Murder
Q: How rare is it for someone with well-managed bipolar disorder to suddenly experience a total catastrophic break from their baseline identity like this, abandoning a job and a child overnight?
Engels says severe episodes can happen, but the account offers no evidence of typical warning signs or changes in sleep, mood, energy, speech, or behavior that would establish a bipolar relapse.
Introducing Serial Killers & Murderous Minds: Liz Golyar: Obsession, Stalking, and Murder
Q: Does Liz's behavior raise any red flags about what she might do in the future?
Engels identifies escalating, increasingly frequent and intrusive contact, disproportionate distress, and suspected stalking as warning signs, while cautioning that no one can predict exactly what will happen.
Football’s Abuse Scandal: The FA’s Darkest Secret | #411
Q: So how did he manage that?
Bennell regularly had boys stay over at his house the night before a big match, an arrangement the clubs he worked for were aware of, but encouraged.
FROM THE VAULT - Episode 26 - Madness, Murder & Munchausen by Proxy: The Case of Gypsy Rose Blancharde
Q: Why did Gypsy run away with Nicholas Godejohn?

FROM THE VAULT - Episode 33 - Oscar Pistorius & Reeva Steenkamp: The Valentine's Day Murder
Q: How did the prosecution counter Pistorius' claims of self-defense?
The prosecution argued that the screams of a woman were heard before the gunshots, indicating that the situation was not as Pistorius claimed, and presented witness testimony to support this.
