  • Wow! Unsubscribing!

    Although the individual in the transgender episode was behaving badly; disregarding her preferred pronouns is absolutely disrespectful. I have no time for people who do not show respect to every one. I am assuming you are a Trump supporter by your comments. Good bye. Hope you find some enlightenment and respect. Peace out.

  • Not inclusive

    I really wanted to like this podcast, but I couldn’t get past the host’s delivery. I found it boring, monotone, and lacking personality. Even more disappointing, I felt that some of the commentary came across as insensitive and reflected attitudes that I perceived as racist, homophobic, and transphobic. There are far better true crime podcasts that cover difficult topics with empathy and respect. This one just wasn’t for me.

  • Pulling politics in when it is irrelevant to a case

    The title says it all. If it’s relevant, by all means. If not, it comes across as sloppy.
