Very well done. Some complain about the slow narrating, but I love it. Gives me time to process the very important information before more is being told. Well done, well done - Don’t stop :)
** ps Lindsay Buziak’s murder still needs to be solved.

Canada25 days ago - My Favorite Episode!
I have been following Island Crime since season one! I try spacing out each episode so that I don’t have to wait so long for the next season to begin! I love how Laura has set up this podcast; it is personable, it has depth, she asks the hard questions that we all want to know, and she gives each missing or murdered person that she covers their voice back and story told! The choice of music in the podcast and sound effects add to the listening experience and great reporting and find that she is ... more

2) They all described it as a van that was brown parked in the alley next to the park.
3) Of identifying features, at least two of the five say it was a V... more

United Statesa month ago - Content is good, narrator needs works
The cadence that the narrator speaks with is very odd. It goes like this: “I too. Once worked. In restaurants and bars.” Why all of the pauses? They may be reading off a script and that’s why it sounds so forced but either way, needs work.
