  • Don’t bother

    I really tried to stick with it. But the episode with the two women is just garbage. Do a smidge of research on the particular case that you have a podcast around. Do some homework on victims. Just because they were of legal age doesn’t mean they could move out. If you’re going to talk about something show a little care and do the homework.

  • Written then read like an actual conversation

    This falls into the uncanny valley. The narrators are talented, but the script is written like a conversation between friends but read like an old timey radio script. Informative but not quite to my taste.

  • A bit of a fake convo

    These guys are clearly reading from a script which is jarring, can’t they just have a conversation?
