  • What “true crime” podcasts should be

    Thank you always bringing the victim and their story as well as the details of the time of the crimes to the forefront. You give families a platform more than any “show” or “interview” I’ve ever seen- including the most famous and longstanding.

  • Top notch

    Really happy to have found a season (7) I had somehow skipped. Confirms how amazing this podcast is. The interview with Shank the previously anti-abortion priest is so moving. Thanks for all the hard work.
