Customer Reviews
Probably best podcast I’ve heard
Season 1 was probably the best show I’ve heard so far and trust me I listen to alooot
Great writing, great story, crazy ride.
Casefile is a close second.
Wow!
So good
Excellent presentation style and compelling narrative
Both Seasons are Incredible
I almost stopped after season 1 (for no good reason) and I am so glad I didn’t. The second season is different yet equally as incredible. Thank you for the solid and respectful journalism. This is topnotch reporting.
