  • Strange Behavior (S7)

    The show is fine if you are comfortable with regular true crime fans playing as sleuths. The hosts collect some interesting details but aren’t very professional or thoughtful about their approach. I was going to continue listening but the Strange Behavior episode was the last straw. The former agent discussion of the supposed instinct to distrust people who don’t conform with what’s generally accepted as normal is deeply problematic. Associating behavior that deviates from societal norms as a si... more

  • Too Much Producer, Not Enough Story

    I’ve loved previous seasons of this podcast, but the Idaho Massacre season was disappointing. There was very little new information, and the episodes were heavily padded with ads.

    The biggest issue was the decision to put the producer on the mic. She frequently interrupted guests, asked irrelevant questions, and sometimes sounded distracted with background noise.

    Her tone also felt oddly giddy at times—almost like a brand-new reporter excited to cover a big story—which felt uncomfortable given... more

  • Biased

    Podcast had very good potential but then turned into infomercial that then turned into a let's bash the criminal because we have no other information to give that's matters to the case or victims.

  • Low effort ad slop

    Such a low effort ad slop cash grab. It’s mostly ads with very little content. Almost as bad as up and vanished, trying to over inflate every tiny piece of info into a new episode by restating everything over and over. Also poor quality recordings despite this.

  • Not great

    This is very one sided. A lot of evidence is left out. I understand BK is weird and I’m not making any excuses but if you are going to do a podcast like this you have to bring in all the evidence and all the facts. Very unprofessional and sounds like they are sitting around gossiping especially in season 7

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

After the Headlines
Q: How do you want your sister to be remembered, would you say?
I just remember Kaylee as the girl who graduated high school, went to college, went and liked the party, joined a sorority, did everything right, even a role model for some people.
After the Headlines
Q: With the Coburger taking his plea deal, what has it been like these past few months, just kind of coming up for air after living in this horror for almost three years?
It sucks. It never should have played out like this. I don't know if closure is the right word.
The Chronicles of Goncalves
Q: What makes Olivia different from some of the other reporters that had reached out to you guys?
Steven highlights that Olivia's personal touch, professionalism, and connection with his sister Kaylee made it easy to trust her compared to larger networks.
The Chronicles of Goncalves
Q: Olivia, can you just tell me a little bit about yourself, you know, your platform, your career as a journalist?
Olivia shares that she started her journey into journalism about five years ago, documenting the Gabby Petito case and organically grew her platform on social media by providing a personal view on cases that mainstream media was not covering.
Behind the Badge
Q: What is it like to chase down those tips and do these initial interviews when you don't know who it could be?
Initially, we went door to door, trying to find security footage and other evidence to piece together what had happened.
