Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.5k ratings
  • 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.

  • True crime reporting done right

    No sensationalism, but takes you right into the details and facts of the crime. By far this is the best true crime podcasting / you tube channel I have come across.

  • “Exclusive” - what ??

    The pod is fine but I’m so over the “TC Exclusive” titling when she’s covering cases multiple podcasts have covered before. I don’t get it and it’s disingenuous.
