  • Dr. Priya is a No Go

    I really used to love this podcast until Dr Priya started coming on. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard. If she had all the evidence and the name of who killed Jon Benet Ramsey I don’t think I could even listen to find out who did it.

  • Murder Sheet… Seriously????

    Murder Sheet literally drops your podcast so far down. The ONLY thing the Murder Sheet is known for is LIES. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER WITH IT.
