  • Ads and MAGA

    Between the Ads and discovering you all support trump can’t support anymore! I love true crime and enjoyed my first episode I listened to on here but realized this will be the last!

  • Weird Music

    They have just added background music that overlaps each different episode, which may already have its own music. It is the same annoying music. Please remove it as it is unnecessary and distracting.

  • Good stuff ruined by appalling editing

    The narrator is excellent. The stories are well written and interesting and thought-provoking. All of this is completely ruined by the worst editing I have ever heard. Intrusive ads appear not only mid sentence, sometimes it's even mid word. It completely ruins the podcast. If they could fix it I would give them five stars for the quality but I can't. Such a shame.

  • Good content but very little is original

    While I have not listened to the most recent episodes, my impression from the beginning of the podcast is that 95% of the content is "copy & paste". If I want to listen to "48 Hours" or "Dateline", I will go there. This podcast would be 1,000 times better if the creator presented the case instead of using other people's work. In addition, I expected content on serial killers & not just on true crime. This just seems like a passing fancy instead of a real project.
