3 out of 5 all the way.
Well researched and very respectful to victims in the true crime episodes. Sometimes a little over the edge when trying to be funny but it’s a good time. Highly recommend, 3 of 5 stars. ;)
Less and less interested in listening to someone’s political rants/slant. Overall, what started as a history podcast that is very well written and narrated has too many political remarks for my liking. I’m interested in the story not your feelings.
I am an avid podcast listener for at least the last eight years. I’ve enjoyed both scared to death and Time, so however, have never been motivated to leave a review. both shows are exceptional in and of themselves however episode 505 about the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Have elevated dance qualifications to a whole other level.
Cheers and thank you
I started laughing out loud on my place to work. My sides hurt.
