  • Case Request

    Let me start by saying that I love this podcast! I would like to request a case, but I’m not sure where to do that, so I thought here would be my start. The case is Amber Lundgren, a 20 year old woman brutally murdered in June 7, 1997, in Asheville, NC after a night out with friends. She was found the next day brutally murdered. 29 years later, her murder is still unsolved. DNA was collected at the scene and even with all the advancements in DNA testing, still no answers. I heard about this case... more

    Knew by that paragraph, that it was a podcast I was willing to try. These two haven’t let me down yet. Caring & compassionate with calm, easy to listen to voices, without

  • The adverts!!

    I really enjoy listening to their stories. However recently the weight loss GLP adverts have been so frustrating. Why am I had g to listen to how my body needs to get rid of fat, or that I may have inherited ‘flaws’ from my parents??

  • Less speculation More confirmation.

    They need to start fact checking. They’ll both make comments “ I think it’s xx , I think that, I don’t remember the name” etc.

    I wouldn’t bring things up unless I was certain. Lots of fluff.
