  • Vocal Fry is not a flex

    It’s too hard to listen for too long due to the vocal fry. Not a flex Brianna.

  • Good coverage of Arizona true crime stories. However, the volume is too quiet, compared to other podcasts, with the exception of the theme music, which has one very loud and low pitched bass sound that actually rattles my car and hurts my ears. Please even out the volume and check the theme music. My ears will thank you!

  • Feedback

    Interesting and well organized podcast. Suggesting that jurors ages 50-70 don’t watch the news is insulting. Eg. Lori Daybell trial. It makes your fact based podcast less credible.
