I’m going to call him turtle boy because of how he acts. It’s POS like him that give DAs bad names he’s more worried about his stats then finding the truth. We all know you can show him a video of someone else doing the shooting & he will make up a reason that it’s fake. This POS should be ashamed of himself!!!
Live the story. However the female lead voice is annoying as she is trying to emote throughout the piece instead of just letting the story do the job
Anyone who thinks the West Memphis 3 are innocent haven’t looked into the case. To work with a convicted satanic child murderer pretty much discredits your whole podcast. Too bad I was looking forward to it.
Most Ads I’ve ever heard, literally half the episode.
Love the podcast everything is great it would have 5 stars but the intro/theme song for season 1 is such loud and insufferable dad butt rock that it literally ruins the experience. So glad you changed the theme song for the second season. Other than that no complaints
