Love listening to Paul Holes going over the entire golden state killer case. Had been a little disappointed with some of the recent episodes, but giving Paul a series on here brought me backkkkk
I'm on the fence about the true crime genre in general, and leaning strongly against for-profit storytelling of true crime as entertainment. If you're a law enforcement officer, legal, medical or investigative professional employed by a government agency - the victim in your jurisdiction actually paid your wages, as did their family, friends, and community. Government jobs are funded by the people. *You were already paid by the victim and their family for the job.* You don't really have the righ... more
Small Town Dicks is one of the few true crime podcasts (or media in general) I’ve listened to that is genuinely respectful of the victims, their families and communities. In an age of people doing their makeup, or eating crab legs while they discuss the most tragic cases like gossip, Small Town Dicks is the opposite. The twins and Paul are incredibly knowledgeable, and I always appreciate Yeardly’s presence. She asks fascinating questions, and also makes sure things are explained in a way us ci... more
I have to say, it took me a long time to start listening to this podcast, but I’m so glad that I finally did! And it’s funny because when I first started, I thought she sounds a lot like Lisa Simpson. Lol. I’m actually flying through it now binging every episode all day every day while I work. Keep up the great work guys and I really appreciate the fact that there are police on here that actually care about people and doing their jobs right.
And YeardIy, I loved you in the Legend of Billie Jean... more
The cops on this show do not represent law enforcement! These are your typically push over sell outs that simply follow the masses. These guys are spineless and there are plenty of other law enforcement related podcasts to listen to rather than this one.
