If you’re fascinated by the sorts of bizarre news stories that sometimes get overshadowed by all of the other hullaballoo, this is the podcast for you. I like the hosts, they’re very thoughtful and well-spoken. It’s not really political or culture war-centric, which is a refreshing break from the scores of podcasts which are. Just weird crime with lots of unpredictable twists and turns, plain and simple. What’s not to love?
