    Briana, please don’t lead your sources with your opinions anymore. Otherwise, I’m interested in what’s happening in AZ and this podcast has had some interesting material.

    Not impressed with the research. The host let someone come on and just say whatever his hypothesis is without any push back. It is a heavy subject not the actual facts used.

  • 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!
