Customer Reviews
All perspectives
Each episode has been meticulously written and produced. All questions that are possible have been addressed. Really enjoy the legal and police input.
The ads are the star of the show
A good crime podcast, but after a couple of seasons the content becomes thin. The platform still gets used to tell important stories, but occasionally slips into patting the host on the back a little too much. The worst aspect, though, are the ads, they are overly loud, obnoxiously placed, and far too frequent. Going to finish up season 3, but it will be an unsub for me after that. It’s a shame because there was something worth listening to there.
One of the top true crime/crime subject podcasts. Period.
There several excellent true crime and crime based pods out there. But once you’ve finished the best ones, you’re stuck looking for one that is well
written and where the narrator isnt annoying. Try this one - it is excellent.
