Episode length = 42 minutes. Ads & fluff = 18 minutes. Penalty 2 Stars.
Some podcasts, as this one, on the Apple platform keep throwing in extra minutes of commercial ads every six months. Four, five, six-minutes of ads and MORE. It’s like they’re trying to strong-arm listeners, “Pay us through our Patreon, or suffer the consequences.”
Not everyone can pay $100 a month for 20 podcast subscriptions. I have 300 on the list. Twenty-seven in current rotation, $135 a month? ???
It’s a quality podcast
Great storytelling. One of the best. Hopefully they will come back.
This podcast started as one of the best, it had a new and fresh feel to True Crime and the dynamics of the original hosts were brilliant. Dan & Dave are brilliant story tellers and hearing it from a police perspective is what made it stand out!

It often feels like you’re sitting at the table with Yeardley, Dan, Da... more
