  • Uhhh, ummm, uhhh

    A podcast host should not have every other word be uhhh or ummm. It’s extremely annoying and intolerable.

  • Best Guests!!

    I love listening to STS. I have been a loyal STS podcast listener for a couple years now. I had to go back and catch up on earlier Adelson drama, but that’s a case I’ve been watching since the original 2017-18 Dateline episode. That’s when I became hooked on everything Adelson and prayed for justice for Dan and his family. I prayed that they would all go down for this brutal and senseless assassination.

    Court TV brought me to you.

    Keep digging and bringing us the very best in true crime! 🫶�... more
