Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 9.8k ratings
  • Oof…quality went down

    I had to stop listening because Bob w/o a script is really hard on my ears. Good content, but only when scripted. Lots of not being able to finish a sentence. I heard two main episodes in a row that were unscripted recently and I can’t do it anymore.

  • Varney ruined it all

    This was once my favorite podcast. Enter Janet Varney from Hollyweird & it is now unlistenable. It turned into a DEI woke show. Maybe, it can be salvaged…but the last few cases have left me asking what happened to this show? But, it’s pretty apparent.

    Nothing like how you began this pod years ago, which was very riveting.

    Now it’s just more employees for you to support & lots of jawjacking blather. No more freeing the innocent. Just rehash “investigation”. Unfollowed

  • Good Cause, Good Pod

    An investigative and crowd sourced pod that tries to exonerate the wrongly convicted. Bob Ruff is an amateur investigator who relies on us to help him with research and theories. He's a brave man and I'm a proud supporter.
