  • Best Pod ever

    Hey there! This podcast has some of the best hosts ever. Discovered it about a year ago and forgot to write a review. The show is explained with detail and is easy to listen to and the hosts do a great job at finding information about the cases and I’ve listened to everything they have to offer. Im a male student from Sweden studying at Lunds University and I would like you to make a episode about Epstein. Thanks!

  • Great podcast!

    I’ve been listening for about 6 years. The hosts are very easy to listen to and have a comfortable rapport. The sound quality is great. The cases are well researched and presented with empathy. Glad I came across this podcast all those years ago! It’s perfect for falling asleep to. If you guys change the music again in the future, please consider something a bit gentler for those of us that like listening at night. - Rstar 🌟

  • Awesome podcast

    I do a lot of driving and was sick of music, listened to one of their podcasts and that’s all I listen to now. Would love to hear them do a few local cases, serial killer Jeremy Skibicki, missing person Eduardo Balaquit, and Tim McLean killed by Vince Li.
