  • Can’t get enough of this podcast

    Mike Boudet does an incredibly detailed, highly informative true crime podcast. He includes recordings at the crime scene, police interviews & 911 recordings.

  • More Sloppy editing…

    Does anyone ever review these before posting? There were skips in the middle and the ending cut out mid-sentence. I’ll just do a web search to learn the ending. 🙄

  • SOOO MANY ADS

    it’s absolutely insane how many ads are now in this podcast. It used to be my favourite. But since listening to new episodes I’ve changed my rating simply because all of the ads. For a 30 min episode there’s 10 minutes of ads! So annoying.
