Very good podcast

The host has a very good voice for narrating & story telling. Well researched. The only thing I think she should change is her catchphrase "This is his/her story" To me it sounds too much like the same catchphrase from the hit TV series "Law & Order"

Is this over?

Love the host’s voice and length of episodes. Short and sweet. Worried that this pod is over though. Come back!

Good True Crime Podcast

Succinct and well-organized. Points for covering cases I haven't heard of before. It drives me crazy that the incorrect past tense of the verb "to hang" is used. I know, nit picky... But the podcast is so well done I don't expect this error. The past tense when talking about the method of execution/murder/suicide is "hanged". He was hanged. Or he hanged himself. Will keep listening but I hope they catch and fix that.
