  • Don’t Stop

    I really like the part of your podcast that makes us familiar with what was going on in history when these perpetrators were born!! It sets us down in time and place. Don’t stop!!

  • Terrible

    Listened to the the podcast on Ted Bundy; she barely scratched the surface on Ted! Did not explain his escape in Colorado, did not name a single victim or mention a single crime committed in Florida that lead to his capture and ultimately his execution! Baffled!!!

    The background music is awful elevator music annoying!!

  • Mumbo jumbo

    I really liked this at first, and the host is easy to listen to compared to some of the others out there. But I agree, there’s a lot of mumbo jumbo. Will harp on about western world events, then talk about a Japanese serial killer… will spend 20 mins talking about a 1970s divorce study as though that really matters to the modern world anymore. After awhile it gets old. Keep things relevant to the time and context, rather than time filling

    She has a certain inflection, and uses particular phrasing, that make her sound like she's speaking to children in primary school.

    [Show some respect to your listeners Ellisa – give us some credit, rather than so obviously assuming all of us to be idiots]

    She's become way too obnoxious for me to try and 'get over it' at this point, and I'll be unfollowing this p... more

  • Love it but…..

    Great podcast, but I often have trouble listening to past episodes because they aren’t available? Like the zodiac killer I can’t listen to because it not available. If this could be fixed it’d be an easy 5 stars.

    Update hope you’re okay noticed you haven’t posted since October. I’ll be praying for you
