I have listened to so many true crime podcasts that I find it hard to find new ones that I enjoy. I enjoy this one!! Great hosts and great flow and storytelling.
Press play if you’re interested to hear 3 educated women discussing a wide variety of forensic pathology related topics with great energy and interest. Plus there is a wonderful joke at the end of every episode.
This is such an interesting take on the true crime podcast with the science related to each crime. Journey, Rebecca, and Nicole are engaging, knowledgeable, and fun to listen to!
I like this podcast and think it’s great. My only complaint is the sound is a bit quiet. I have to crank the volume up to hear everything but still difficult to hear with any background noise. This is listening from my phone, Bluetooth speakers, AirPods and my car. My biggest issue is forgetting I have the volume cranked and then the next podcast on my player starts and I blow my ears out.
These fun ladies bring a whole educational spin onto the world of true crime. Forensics is such a bigger more diverse world than I even realized. It’s a must listen!!
