Customer Reviews
Great, but SO many ads :(
I love this podcast and Phoebe is a great story teller; this is my comfort podcast for sure. I always learn about something new. My only beef is the ad breaks - they're so frequent and usually pretty long. I get that you need to monetize (and also that I have the option to pay for Criminal+ to skip ads altogether), but sometimes it feels like half the episode is ads. Maybe they could be only at beginning? Please?
Love it, worth the listen
Phoebe is a great story teller,and the stories are for the most part, unique
would be 5* except for the amount of ads
A great podcast
I only discovered this podcast recently and am now making up for lost time. Every episode is interesting, including relevant and informative guests and other sources. But it’s Phoebe’s voice that ties everything together that is most pleasing.
