  • LOVE - Respectful and Informative!

    Hannah and Patia are GREAT! I listened to the first episode and loved it and still do 😁 I love that there’s a combo of personal interviews and the hosts covering cases “Off the Record” because it’s a nice balance. I love their commentary/research/stories and I really like the way they talk to the interviewees with respect and empathy.

  • I want to like it

    It has interesting topics but is often hard to follow. I find myself rewinding and stories seem out of order or people flow past main points and important facts too quickly without reiterating them. A few episodes do a better job. Even the intro suddenly you’re talking about something and J look and it’s the beginning without any kind of intro or setup.
