Episode 364, Lane Bryant shooting- why bring up the speculations about the killer being trans? There is literally zero evidence and only speculation about this. If we bring every unfounded speculation into crime shows like this, we are getting nowhere. Simply seems like an excuse to be transphobic under the guise of “solving crime.”
Robin does a great job with in-depth research, great delivery and his well thought out theories!
Intro needs a major rework. We don’t need to hear about the many podcast apps every time, we already know if we listen to podcasts. We also don’t need to hear about stickers or anything like that for patrons, I doubt many five year olds listen, and doubt stickers motivate any adults. Listen to Casefile, the pinnacle of podcasts which opens with zero chitchat.
Why is this guy narrating true crime stories with such a chirpy, rushed, children’s TV show voice? It’s like an AI voice on a terrible Christmas sales advert: “Don’t miss these amazing discounts! Offer is limited so don’t delay!” Maybe this seems ok to Americans, but to me it’s frankly offensive given the subject matter.
So happy to see you cover Aussie stuff. The Beaumont case was extremely well researched as well as the Gordon/Ratcliffe one. Please do more 🇦🇺
