Such a good podcast, definitely one of my favourites out of all the true crime ones available. Clear, concise storytelling. Don’t change it! Thank you 💙
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!
Fantastic podcast
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!
Similar style to Casefile, just tells the story without (for the most part) inserting opinion, I like that style very much.
