  • Not that great!

    I used to like this podcast I’ve been listening for 2 years, however I won’t be anymore. Too many ads, I understand they have to have some but it’s too much. I also find that the presenting now is so poor, it’s like she’s reading about stuff for the first time and just so much waffle about irrelevant things. It’s boring now and totally lost everything it used to be about.

  • Writing a review literally just to say

    Ignore the reviewer rambling about your criticisms of police. You’re right to criticize them. I’ve never heard you do more than simply criticize the ineptitudes specific to the crime, which means the reviewers argument of ThEy’Re NoT aLl BaD has zero relevance to your content, but even if you had/have criticized policing generally, you would still be correct. Five stars, given independently of those facts.

  • True crime

    I started listening to this from when it first started. I am still several years behind, but the one thing I do notice is that there are a lot of ads. Thank goodness I can fast forward through those. The reason I ditch most podcasts and lose interest is when they start bashing police officers, and start interjecting a little bit of their political stances. If people would just stick to the facts, that would be great. I understand that some cops miss things or don’t do their job as well as they ... more
