  • Missed opportunity

    Great, you have a criminal who wants to talk about his crimes. But that can’t be the entire podcast, especially when your criminal is as full of himself as Joe is. No apparent fact checking, no pushing back when he says things that are fantastical or improbable. No thanks.

    I hate podcasts that make the criminal the Center and only tell his version of the story without fact checking. Painful to listen to.
