- Enjoy this podcast….
I like this podcast and hearing author’s perspectives on true crime stories they write about. But there’s one thing that kind of annoys me, it’s not a big deal but I’ve noticed a lot of the guest she interviews say “right” at the end of their sentences throughout their interview.

Congrats on The Serial Killer’s Apprentice! I was so excited to see your face on my TV 😃
Apple Podcasts5anchhhhhhhhhhhhUnited States2 months ago - Fantastic
This is a fantastic podcast. It’s so interesting to hear these stories from the author’s own words. They are the most passionate about their work and I find these interviews so interesting!
Apple Podcasts5LilyoftheSouthUnited States2 months ago - A must for those interested in high quality and ethical true crime content!
Nothing but respect for KWD and the behind the scenes team she works with. Not to be cynical but it can be way too easy for content creators to go for the shocking, exploitative angle or tone, but never with KWD. She conducts thoughtful, compelling interviews and truly is the standard for ethical, compassionate yet still captivating true crime reporting and content. Her other podcast, Buried Bones, is my absolute favorite-highly recommend giving a listen if you haven’t yet :)
