  • Very compelling podcast!

    Absolutely love this new show! I was a huge fan of the opportunist, and I was devastated when Hannah was cut from that show. So far every episode of the knife, I’ve listened to has been compelling, and I cannot stop listening. Very excited to hear more of Hannah and Patia’s work. They’re an excellent duo and bring a different perspective on true crime.
