  • Steady and compassionate

    Mr. Warder does an excellent job providing thorough and thoughtful coverage of very upsetting topics.

    He does this without using foul language or lurid fixating on details.

    Compassionate and steady delivery.

  • No stone uninterrogated

    My biggest pet peeves with true crime podcasts are (1) being more about the hosts than the cases and (2) lazy rehashing of what we could easily find in Wikipedia, especially when there are glaring “what the…” things about the case. TTWC avoids both and is one of the narrative bests: one of the reasons I like true crime is the narrative storytelling format and this one excels.

  • I have been a fan since my friend put me on to the Patanela minisode over 8 years ago. Robin Warder was great, his tenacity, research and compassion for victims was beyond criticism. And then he hooked up with two women from his spin-off podcast. A pair of twittering gossips from Trumpland who spend two hours in two parts having a long deep dive into everything that has been said before. But the good news is, once I stopped paying for this on Patreon all that spam went away and I can enjoy TWC.

  • Inappropriate tone

    The Canadian host is unreasonably chipper about these serious, and often brutal cases.
