  • I really wanted to like this podcast

    I was excited to find a new to me podcast that covered missing people. The episodes seem to only skim the surface of the missing persons cases. The subjects covered in the USA are covered more in depth in other podcasts. This show is a hard pass for me

  • Lack of diversity

    If you want to hear about missing people of color, you have to listen to a black true crime podcast. & they exist because no one else cares that we are missing. Very disappointed in the lack of diversity of this podcast.
