  • Season 5 host is so hard to listen to 😒

    I really wanted to hear this story, but the way the host talked was sooooo annoying, sooooo distracting, and sooooo difficult to follow, it just made it hard and unpleasant to listen to the podcast. I tried to keep listening, but I had to give up

  • Like narrator, but hard to follow

    Re My Mother’s Lies: The story and intro hooked me! I even really like the narrator. But, it was told in a very choppy, disjointed manner. They introduced new people I didn’t remember or for the first time without enough background. It would have still been possible to tell this in a linear fashion and focus on Susan. The 20/20 episode helped me understand everything way more. I feel like I need to listen to the other woman’s podcast to see if there is more on the original suspects there.... more

  • Season 17

    I hesitated listening to this season because it had to do with a missing child. Thank you to Matt Angel for doing this podcast & thank you to the Morcombes for sharing their heart wrenching story. I can’t imagine all of the emotions dealing with the loss of a child & the questions that plagued the parents for years on end.

  • Album art yellow off putting?

    I like the Binge podcasts but I find the artwork to feature a really off putting yellow color. Not sure who does the art but it needs a serious change (no AI).
