Simply THE best

Right up there with TAL (duh), journalism at its finest, and so much so it got an innocent out of jail. Amazing narration, it keeps me gripped and wanting for more. Between seasons I keep looking for comparing shows, there are many good shows out there, and I believe it’s because there are such beacons leading the way. Simply top of the line. Keep up the good work 😍

Amazing story telling - great host

The way the each episode of each series is told is great, the hosts are doing an amazing job! I got really obsess with the podcast, and couldn't stop listening.

Thrilling

I’m usually terrible at listening to podcasts, as I get distracted by approximately anything going on (in and out of my head).
This podcast is absolutely captivating and kept me awake until 2am
Thank you very much
