  • Good Podcast

    I listened to the Vanished In The Snow episodes. Interesting story. Iam glad they caught up with Steve Pankey in the end. Especially sent him to prison in the end. He is one of those weirdos who deserves to be there. The way he acted and carried on a lot of the time. Definitely a weirdo.

    The story was presented well. I gave it 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    This podcast is over the top. The entire podcast is far less factual than it is an opinion persuasion. It is blatantly and politically biased and nauseating to listen to. The narrator continues to ramble on and on about the police and their anecdotal approach to solving the crime…. While the podc... more
