I love this podcast. Many true crime podcasts have this gross undertone of cop hatred and mainstream
Media indoctrination. These guys don’t.
Whoa guys Justin talked about his dong on the latest episode!!
Easy to listen to and interesting
Whyyyy am I having to listen to ads when I am a paid subscriber and am looking at “subscriber edition” in the show’s page??
Dang. I love this podcast but I hate that now I have to pay for every episode now??? I was going through and even the ones I hadn’t finished I can’t finish cause now it’s under the subscription. I can’t justify paying for the subscription with other things that are more important. Which I hate. I wish I could. But I guess I’ll just have to listen to other podcasts.
