  • Fantastic Podcast

    With slick production which translates just as effectively into podcast episodes from the original YouTube episodes, which are also brilliant. Great delivery, victim focussed and so well researched, just brilliant, one of my faves!

  • Excellent true crime pod

    Well researched and minimal editorializing, while still being sensitive and human. The host has a lovely, soothing voice (as does the other host who we don’t hear from as often). Five stars!

  • Excellent podcast

    Similar style to Casefile, just tells the story without (for the most part) inserting opinion, I like that style very much.

  • Very good overall

    Well-presented but presenter can get monotonous sounding at times. Too many unsolved cases to my liking but at least some are identified. I avoid binging and save this show for occasional listening.

    Update: I’ve been listening for a while now and am taking off one star. The presenter talks so fast she starts to sound like AI.
