  • Don’t really listen anymore

    I have listened since to this podcast since Season 3 when I caught up on 1-3. Over the years, it was my favorite podcast and I enjoyed that it gave voices to these victims. Some I loved, some I didn’t care for simply because I could not understand how the victims did not use basic common sense. But around Season 12 or 13, it became very political and it was obvious that it was leaning very left. I am a republican but enjoy listening to views of others time to time. However, this just got worse a... more

That being said, the amount of ads is actually insane. At this point the podcast is 50% ads. I understand that podcasts need ads to support the creators, but this is way too much. I listen to a variety of different shows spanning a ton of topics and I’ve never encountered a show with as many ads as this one. It’s a bummer because the show i... more
