Love this show. Been a fan for years. Never miss an episode. Really great deep dive look at cases. Nic & Captain are perfect hosts…compassionate & critical.

Among true crime podcasts, this one stands out: male co-hosts, a beer review anchors each episode, the crimes are often underreported and unsolved, the reporting is thoughtful and comprehensive, and the hosts have a wonderful rapport. The Captain brings levity! This is a recent discovery and must-listen.

Heard what I would categorize as a victim blamer and shamer. Not everyday in the year if 2026 that you hear a podcast host (captain) going through the possibilities of what the victim did to incite the perpetrator’s attack.
