After a lengthy investigation and cross-country manhunt, a Ph.D. student from a neighboring university is charged with the crimes.

  • WAY too many ads

    I listen to dozens of free podcasts, so I’m used to ads, but when a podcast that’s 50 minutes has 3 or 4 ad breaks that each last 3-4 minutes, that’s an absurd ratio of ads. I’m not even going to comment on the content because I would not recommend this podcast due to the sheer volume of ads

  • Vet your “experts”

    Season 6 episode 6 the so-called forensic DNA expert Collie Stimson doesn’t even know what PCR is. He refers to it as “Polychromies Reaction”. And then doesn’t explain PCR (polymerase chain reaction) at all. I’ve worked with DNA technologies for a long time and have never heard this term. Given the magnitude and severity of this case and the importance of DNA evidence, I would think you would be more careful in your selection of experts.

    Also Stephanie is the worst. Giddy and biased.

  • Decent Podcast

    First of all, Stephanie Lydecker’s whining voice. Have to skip her parts. Second their obsession with having total access to all the witnesses is kind of creepy. To the point that is almost voyeuristic. Honestly they could take a cue from the Law and Order podcast, so good.

  • Unfortunatly

    This podcast shows real potential, but the listening experience is severely impacted by the excessive amount of advertising. The interruptions are so frequent that the content becomes nearly inaudible.

    Additionally, in the Idaho 4 season, the hosts’ approach to commentary is troubling. Their repeated claims that the suspect is “a man who failed at everything,” “had nothing going for him,” or “is essentially worthless” cross the line from analysis into personal attacks. A true‑crime podcast shou... more

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.
