4.6 out of 5 stars from 4.9k ratings
  • Unlistenable due to the hideous background music

    The host rushes / talks to fast and makes little sense - probably trying to get his lines in before the music drowns him out again. Poor show

  • Uhg

    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.”

  • Can be annoying

    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.

  • Unlistenable

    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.
