  • Wolf family murders

    The information you gave about the Wolf family murders was incorrect. All five of the daughters were not killed. The nine month old baby was found alive and unharmed in her crib (not in her mother’s arms as you said.) She actually lived to the age of 84. I didn’t listen after that so there were probably more errors as well. If you are going to report historical events at least get the basic story right.

  • Distracting

    The music playing while you narrate stories is distracting and loud in the episode about MO. It overshadows what you’re saying. I’m interested in the story, not the background music
