Daddy’s Little Girl

Absolutely heartbreaking. Statistics on domestic abuse in Canada are horrible enough, but to hear a father’s grief for his little girl is truly terrifying. Fantastic show and podcast. Thank you for the sensitivity you bring to these topics.

I am only getting episodes of Most Wanted. Is Crime Beat itself no longer a podcast??
Too Many Parts

2024-12-19

Chelzer19

This used to be my favourite podcast but all the parts for one story and the time between content has really been disappointing. I enjoyed the longer one episodes and haven’t been able to get into these as of late.
14 parts?

Great podcast, and Nancy is awesome, but if I wanted a 14 part series there are many other podcasts for that, I enjoy this for quick hits, don’t even mind the 2 or 3 part episodes, but 14? Please stay in your lane
