- Steady hands
The two hosts are very steadfast and trustworthy storytellers. It is much unlike the exhausting and lazy hyperbolic narrative style of many true crime podcasts, which I think is ultimately very exploitative and disrespectful to victims and survivors of crimes.
Surely they are not as “entertaining” as a few of the podcasters I listened to…they do not do the fake overkill praising of the victims.
I respected the way they dissected Britney Spears conservatorship and because they are steady and c... more

I have been a regular listener and have always enjoyed. Even the reconsidered, if there is not much of an update, the episodes are worth another recent listen!

United States16 days ago - A purposeful and academic true crime podcast
Not only do I enjoy the accents of Dr. Sachs and Dr. Schlosberg, I think the academic analysis of the criminal and judicial aspects of the cases are very thoughtful and purposeful. This is a crime podcast that’s not just glorifying the horrors of the crimes, but shedding light on the criminal justice process and the underlying causes of the criminal acts.
Apple Podcasts5ImirieKovicUnited States16 days ago - Love this podcast
Love this podcast and been listening for years. Meghan and Amy are respectful and insightful in the way they present the cases.
Apple Podcasts5ashleynotIUnited States17 days ago - Was good….but then they crossedaline
For the most part these two are objective and simply state the facts. But then on the Amanda Knox story, they were so blatantly biased towards Amanda. Obnoxiously so. Then voila!! The very next week they have Amanda on as a guest! Objectivity lost. Too bad! And the “ reconsidered” shows are lame.
