    Cannot support show that promotes Jordan Harbinger. He appears with Adam Carolla, a known Trump supporter.

  • Love the content - but hate the ads

    I really enjoy the content in this podcast but the number of repetitive ads is crazy. I understand that they have to make money but the ads are super repetitive and in a twenty minute bonus episode there are four blocks of ads.

  • This One is Different

    I really like this podcast. It tells the story, provides tips and does it all without glorifying the act or dwelling on the gore. It’s different from other true crime pods I’ve listened to. That doesn’t make them bad, but it definitely makes this one special.

  • Summary for the working man

    Got through 10 minutes before turning this off. Americans suggesting schools lock their doors, run, or perhaps even arm teachers to prevent nutters killing kids. The hosts are totally incapable of comprehending that allowing young men open access to military grade automatic weapons is well, a really bad idea. Shockingly bad journalism.
