  • High hopes, ads ruined it.

    I was so excited to start this podcast as I love dual female narrators. However, I wish I was being hyperbolic when I say almost a third of the episode is ads. 5 mins at the beginning, another 5 in the middle, and 4 solid minutes toward the end. 14 mins out of 45 is entirely too much. It ruins the flow and it’s so frustrating.

  • Too many ads

    A 40 minute episode and over half that time is full of ads. And the ads are very long. Ridiculous. I dont mind podcasts with ads but this podcast feels like it should be named “ads” with some crime talk. I wouldn’t bother there are much better true crime podcasts with a lot fewer ads.

    I love this podcast! The hosts are great - no banter, and they get right to the story, which is so refreshing! They have great pacing and do a great job of giving pertinent details. Each episode is succinct, without skimping on content. All of these things make it a 5 star podcast that I look forward to!
