Customer Reviews
Investigative journalism at its best!
This is a well done investigative podcast told with compassion for the victims. James’ voice is also easy on the ears. I also like that the stories are not well-known to most people. The sound quality is excellent as well. Highly recommend!
Dekota Spotlight
I can’t get enough of James Wolner’s voice. It’s such a great podcast. So far all 5 seasons (still ongoing) is amazing! I know it’s definitely worth a download. Binge worthy!!!
Rosemarie Cromlish
I am hooked
I started listening to this podcast just recently. A Better Search For Barbara was about a friend’s missing Aunt. I thought I would give it a listen and I am hooked. I am a few episodes away from being done all 5 seasons now. James has a knack for story telling and his descriptions make you feel like you are right in the story. His attention to detail is second to none. You can tell by his dedication and his ability to ask the right questions that he really cares about getting to the truth. I am already looking forward to many more seasons.
