I came here to listen to the Banfield epidode (169), liked the podcast, the style of delivery and the cadence. Then it was recommended to go listen to 103 & 106. I absolutely could not follow the guy (Branden Morgan). He was all over the place. I had to stop. It was too sporadic. I’ll listen to a few episodes as Morgan isn’t delivering cntent. He made it feel stressful. Not a great experience. I’ll wait to knock down the stars if it continues in this spiral.
I’m NOT a fan of the bonus episode. Your regular stories are good and unlike Bonus episodes are less judgmental.
And yes, in the south we do genuinely say “ma’am” all the of the time. His arrogant attitude shows his “true colors & wokeness”! I’m unfollowing the show.
I like the main show, Carolyn is great, can’t stand the bonus episodes and don’t listen to them but the audio issues are so frustrating, 911 calls you can’t hear, guests quieter than the main and the random playing of the outro over the rest drive me nuts
I love the bonus episodes! Not sure why people are complaining, if you’re not into it just skip those episodes. Personally I look forward to the banter, the random rabbit holes and Gen X references. Love the main episodes too!!Carolyn is a brilliant story teller.
i love this host. excellent narration, research. well edited episodes.

A true crime show led by two seasoned hosts who pair rigorous investigative storytelling with candid bonus discussions. Weekly episodes center on detailed case reporting, stakeholder interviews, and on-the-ground context, while bonus segments feature informal banter and reactions. The narration is notable for deep research, archival material, and a strong sense of place, often weaving pop culture touchpoints to illuminate the crime narrative. Its mix of meticulous reporting and personable host dynamics makes it distinctive, and the show frequently features expert guests and law enforcement perspectives to add depth to complex cases.
