  • Ugh

    As a big true crime fan, I know some of these stories and they get so many details wrong as they try to be dramatic. But the narrator reminds me of old church lady reading from a script without even attempting to “tell” the story

  • Ehhh

    I might revise this after the episode finishes, but after a less-than-minute and a half period where the show explained that BTK stands for “Bind, Torture, Kill” three times, it felt a little ridiculous.

    Voice is very boring. Need someone who can act to make it believable

  • Thankfully short but mediocre

    This podcast is like a Wikipedia summary with tacky sound effects and a short runtime. Clearly cashing in on true crime rather than looking to do a deep dive or say anything new on the cases and subjects covered. If you’re looking for true crime, Casefile is the right call. Not this.
