I’ve been listening to this show for 3 years and thoroughly enjoyed it until the last 6-12 months. I listen for the investigation and to learn more about the inner workings of Keyes. Very little new information or theories have been divulged, instead the podcast has turned its attention to “fans”. It’s extremely cringe to utilize this podcast to promote exclusive trips, etc. I don’t listen to learn more about Josh or any of the “behind the scenes”. Make a separate podcast if that’s the direction... more

The mention of the abandoned rental car is super sus and needs to be looked into. That’s not his MO. He would normally tie up all loose ends like a normal person to evade any and all suspicion. I wonder whatever happened there..
Apple Podcasts5Brooklyn PesolaUnited States4 months ago - Love Josh and Team
I’ve listened to this show from the very beginning and it’s a great, very thorough podcast. I’m also blown away at how well the details are presented. I would like to say even after all these years, I never get over the frustration when I hear the FBI interviews. i hate how much control and power they gave Keyes! the laughing & chit chat makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
