I discovered this podcast a couple years ago and as life goes, things change, and life has gotten a bit “eh” for me these days, but I know things will eventually be fine once again.
Regardless, I’ve always been fascinated with how old newspapers used to report, and Richard O. Jones does great.
And I laugh along with him when he’s giving a brief introduction and is all “Yeah, its probably not gonna end well!”
My kind of humor. :)
Thanks, man.
Absolutely love this Podcast!
I really enjoy the stories and the narrator is very good.
Needs improvement on editing the stories, a lot of repeated information an re-stating of facts
Also some episodes have ridiculous musical sound effects. Too much!
Still one of my favourite true crime podcasts but needs more consistent professional editing
He’s back!
This podcast hosted by Richard O. Jones—something of a character himself—tells historical true crime stories literally ripped from the headlines of the day. It’s sweet spot is homicide about a century ago. A while back Jones took a sabbatical from the show—and it’s absence made me think of it fonder. I’m glad the podcast is back.
