The interviews are sublime and the banter is titillating. It’s my favorite podcast to fantasize about being in. The structure of every episode is delicately laid out for a delightful and educational experience. Keep up the good work. 😩😫🤤
Andrew does an amazing job as a host. Interesting stories that always leave you wanting more. One of a kind content!
Good if you’re into true crime. Not everyone is but if you are this is one of the better podcasts. I enjoy from time to time.
As a listener of nothing but true crime, Andrew’s podcast is one of my favorites. It goes beyond only discussing a case, and he asks the questions we were all wondering.

A notable niche is the willingness to let offenders narrate their own stories at length, complemented by interviews with investigators a... more
