    Burn in HEAVEN?? OMG! The side commentary after every fact is sooo annoying. After the BURN IN HEAVEN comment I had to delete your podcast from my playlist. How small, and SAD, you lost credibility

  • I gave it an honest shot—1 year

    I tried, I really did, as historical crime is one of my favorite genres, but I just can’t stand the inane banter and giggling anymore. I appreciate insightful commentary and tangents in other pods but these two contribute nothing to the topic. We don’t need personal opinions after almost every sentence.

    I don’t understand why all the commentary during story telling. I couldn’t get through it with the dumb jokes and even dumber laughter. TRASH!
