  • True Crime Broads are ANNOYING

    No, I don’t know this family AT ALL. They said every negative review they get for their podcast is from the Beavers family. I’ve never met them. But they’re annoying. They’re clearly every day people who don’t know anything about being investigators, and it sounds like they never actually listened to true crime to begin with. I would recommend they listen to some podcasts led by Paul Holes, I think they’d learn a lot.

  • Season two

    The first season was great. I got tired of season two and it’s endless focus on bias. I quit halfway through. I will try season three.

  • Really good

    Been looking for a new long form podcast that dives deep into a mystery. I came across it because the Missy Bevers had peaked my attention. Now I will definitely be going back to check out seasons 1-5. It’s thoroughly researched and thoughtfully presented.

  • Okay Podcast

    It’s an interesting case. The podcast host leans way too much on other podcast hosts throughout the whole pod. Also, it leads you down deep dives that feel only tangentially related. Way too much on the cover band music scene. Overall though this case deserves a pod and more.

  • Disappointed

    I’ve listened to a few seasons and thought the show was okay until season 3 episode 3. First was him saying how using psychics was part of that era as if it’s not a multi billion dollar industry now then how he spoke so matter of factly about how psychics are fake and the “tricks” they use. He sounded so narrow minded, ignorant and degrading to the people in the story who validated some of their results and found them useful. What’s next, he’ll state his opinions as facts about “tricks” by mains... more
