  • Awesome true crime podcast

    First of all, your voice is very calming. I listened to your podcast when I'm stressed and overwhelmed and it just helps me relax I even listen to it to fall asleep. You know I have to listen to the same podcast over and over to hear the whole thing. I started to watch you on TikTok and then when I left TikTok, found you on Facebook creole and then found your podcast.
