At one time this was my go-to, but when you burn your listeners over and over take their money knowing damn good and well nothing is coming that’s where I draw the line. All the #1 podcasts have one thing in common…. New content on a schedule. You should look at Crime Junkie Payne. That’s a podcast!!!
Looking forward to next season! Storyteller to the core.
I cannot believe I have listened to this whole season to have him not help or solve not one but two disappearances. And it’s so slow my god. Even on 1.5x. I don’t know why I keep listening to every season
This podcast is so well done. It is my number one recommendation to all of my friends. Payne is thoughtful and willing to ask the difficult questions. It is clear that a lot of work goes into these podcasts.
I’ve been listening to up and vanished from the very beginning. Payne Lindsay and his team are incredible investigative journalists who helped families get justice. I love their compassion for victims and the way they standing up for families! Truly the best in the field!
